GRAPHENE
DESCRIPTION
hidrocarburo aromático policíclico infinitamente
alternante de anillos de sólo seis átomos de carbono.
PROPERTIES
FLEXIBLE AND transparent.
Electric and termic conductivity.
High Elasticity and hardness.
Low joule effect.
DESCRIPTION
Tubular or cylindrical carbon structures measured in
nm.
Structure : single layer and multiple layer.
* Single layer: one graphene layer rolled.
* Multiple layer: lots of graphene layer rolled
concentrically.
It’s a alotropic shape of carbon.
Nanoshaped hexagonal units.
ORIGIN AND HISTORY
In 1991 the resercher Sumio Lijima (Japan)
descovered them.
While he was watching through the microscope he
found fibres deposited in a soot’s speck.
Due to its shape they were called Carbone Nanotubes.
They were multiple layer nanotubes.
Two years after that lijima and Donald Lijima created
one layer nanotubes.
PROPERTIES
Elasticity.
Thermal conductivity.
It’s one of the most hard material known.
Mechanic resistance.
Chemically motionless and biologically compatible.
They can be insulators and conductors.
USES
Solar cells and storage of hydrogen.
Production of automobile ligh pieces or space vehicles.
Transistors.
Production of rechargeables batteries, automobilepieces, sport articles, etc.
Production of lithium’s ion batteries.
To administer therapeutic heat, drugs and medicalsensors to attack carcinogenic cells.
