Economical nano-carbons
Start-up company Vorbeck Materials Corp. has licensed a technology developed at Princeton University that reportedly enables economical commercial production of graphene, conductive functionalized single sheets of graphite, for use as multifunctional nano-fillers. They are said to provide electrical conductivity, barrier properties, and improved physical properties in a wide range of thermoplastics, thermosets, and rubbers.
