Graphene foam makes epoxy compound lighter and tougher

December 6th, 2018

Graphene foam makes epoxy compound lighter and tougher Rice scientists developed an advanced epoxy for electronic applications using “ultrastiff” graphene foam that is substantially tougher than pure epoxy and far more conductive than other epoxy composites. James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Chair in Chemistry and a professor of computer science and of materials […]

Epoxy compound gets a graphene bump

November 15th, 2018

Epoxy compound gets a graphene bump Epoxy combined with “ultrastiff” graphene foam invented in the Rice lab of chemist James Tour is substantially tougher than pure epoxy and far more conductive than other epoxy composites while retaining the material’s low density. It could improve upon epoxies in current use that weaken the material’s structure with […]
