Rice University develops graphene composites to simplify ice removal
A composite of graphene nanoribbons and epoxy proves effective at de-icing a helicopter blade in an experiment at Rice University. The new material may be suitable for keeping aircraft, wind turbines and transmission lines free of ice. James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, professor of computer science and of materials science and nanoengineering, is quoted. Also mentioned are Will Rice College sophomore Tanvi Varadhachary, postdoctoral researchers Jian Lin and Yongsung Ji, graduate students Tuo Wang and Abdul-Rahman Raji and alumnus Kewang Nan ’14.
