Graphene is only composed of carbon, like diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. However, graphene is a 2d material where one single layer of carbon atoms – that is less than a nanometer, one hundred thousand time thinner than a hair -, is arranged in a honeycomb structure. This sets it apart from other carbon forms because its unique structure leads to exceptional properties.

Graphene has exceptional properties making it a candidate for enhancing a tremendous number of applications ! It would take hours to list it all but here are some of the main applications : Since it behaves as a perfect barrier to gas and liquid, it can be used to protect surfaces from environnemental agressions such as corrosion or non-aqueous fluids. With its great thermal and mechanical properties, it can enhance materials when toughness or thermal management are needed while keeping its lightness.
