Nanographene is flexible, yet stronger than steel. With unique physical and electronic properties, the material consists of carbon molecules only one atom thick arranged in a honeycomb shape. Still early in technological development, current fabrication methods require the addition of substituents to obtain a uniform material. Additive-free methods result in flimsy, breakable fibers until now.
An international team of researchers has developed self-assembling, stable and strong nanographene wires. The results were published on March 24 in
Journal of the American Chemical Society. ....
