Aerographite The Lightest Material (so far) In the World Ph 70, 2012 FA Shiyi “Teresa” Liu
Introducing Aerographite • Jet-black, non-transparent • Stable • Electrically conductive • Ductile • Density: 0.2 mg/cm3
Film Aerographite attracted by polymer rod
Electrical Conductivity Lattice structure in graphite
Density Comparison Aerographite (0.2 mg/cm3) Water (1000 mg/cm3) Air (1.225 mg/cm3)
How It’s Made Ivy Vines
Applications of Aerographite Products in smaller scale Lightweight car battery Water purification
Previous World Champions • Aerogel, 1931 • Ultralight Metallic Microlattice, 2011
Aerogel 99.8% air, 1,000 times less dense than glass thermal, acoustical, electrical insulation one-lb of block can support half a ton of weight
Film Thermal insulation
Ultralight Metallic Microlattice 99.99% air, 0.9 mg/cm3, 1.36 times less dense than air metal nano are hollow inside, made by sacrificing template
