stretchable graphene oxide fibers that are scrolled easily into yarns and have strengths approaching that of Kevlar. This method opens up multiple possibilities for useful products.
For instance, removing oxygen from the graphene oxide fiber results in a fiber with high electrical conductivity. Adding silver nanorods to the graphene film would increase the conductivity to the same as copper,
In addition, the researchers believe that the material lends itself to many kinds of highly sensitive sensors. e found this graphene oxide fiber was very strong
stretchable graphene oxide fibers that are scrolled easily into yarns and have strengths approaching that of Kevlar is possible, according to Penn State and Shinshu University, Japan, researchers."
"We found this graphene oxide fiber was very strong, much better than other carbon fibers,"said Mauricio Terrones, professor of physics, chemistry and materials science and engineering, Penn State."
