The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness ...

Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom ... MAC offered an ideal case study for testing the fracture toughness of nanocomposites made up of ordered (crystalline) regions embedded inside ...

IntechOpen) The exponential growth of polymeric nanocomposites began with the discovery of fullerenes (also known as C60 or buckyballs). This discovery paved the road for discovery of carbon nanotubes ...

Scientists at Ångstron Materials (a spin-off from Nanotek Instruments, Inc.) have developed a new class of nanomaterials now commonly referred to as nano-scaled graphene plates or platelets (NGPs) and ...

Scientists from the TPU Research School of Chemistry and Applied Biomedical Sciences, as part of a research team, have synthesized a nanocomposite for water purification from toxic pollutants, ...
