Graphene nanoparticles (platelets) exhibit extremely high conductivity and transparency, excellent mechanical properties, and facile processability that can be supplied at much lower cost than other carbon forms like nanotubes. Graphene also features tailored chemical functionality, which allows… More

Mg alloys such as AZ31 are attractive for military armor applications, because of their strength to weight ratio, and ease of machining. Research has shown that reduction of grain sizes below 100 nm can result in an increase in material performance, and strength. However Mg nano-particles can be… More
