  1. Graphene The Miracle Material of the Future Presented by Preston Fry ITMG 100 07

  2. What is graphene? Graphene is a material made from carbon It has many different properties which make it potentially useful It is expected to replace common materials (i.e. plastic, silicon) on certain products as early as the next decade

  3. Properties of graphene • Great semiconductor – electrons can move with minimal resistance • Extraordinarily strong – 100x stronger than steel • Thermal conductor - heat can move 10x faster in graphene than in copper • Nearly transparent – 97.3% transparent due to it only being one atom think

  4. Flexible and malleable – attributed to its light weight and thinness, can flex 20% without damage Potential to be cheap/affordable – carbon is incredibly abundant on Earth Incredibly thin – one atom “thick” Properties of graphene
