Advanced Material for Solving Many Problems: Graphen

Graphen consists of  Carbon atoms, which form  a  plane network  of hexagonally arranged Carbon atoms.

This material, which has been developed  about 10 years ago and can now be bought  ( for instance at:  http://www.angstronmaterials.com/in-the-news/ ),  has several  outstanding features like:

•  4 times higher electrically conductivity than copper  ( 20 000 S/cm)

•  5 times higher thermal conductivity than copper  ( 5 300 W/(mK)

• extreme large surface  ot 2600  square meter per gram graphen

• 50  times higher strength than steel

These outstanding features will be the base for many future inventions, like:

• filters for water or separation   of  particles in liquids

• super batteries

• super capacitors

• similar devices like heat pipes, but probably much cheaper

• solar cells

• ropes

• paper like products

• semi permeable membranes ( separation of nitrogen and oxygen in the air ? )

At least it  is worth while for every technically oriented inventor, to have a look at this material.
