Act. 3.3b New materials
-
Gecko tape
-
The soft interface of gecko tape ensures a large contact area, which leads to high adhesion strength.
-
-
Aerogels
-
-
-
-
They are used to detect toxic microorganisms, in sppace ships and in constructions.
Graphene
a single layer (monolayer) of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. It is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a plane of sp2-bonded atoms with a molecular bond length of 0.142 nanometres
involved the use of toxic chemicals to grow graphene as a monolayer by exposing Platinum, Nickel or Titanium Carbide to ethylene or benzene at high temperatures
-
applications areas include: composites, energy, telecommunications, electronics, sensors and imaging, and biomedical technologies.
The creation of supercapacitors out of graphene will probably be the most important application of all
Shrilk
It's degradable bioplastic made using a material called chitosan (found in shrimp shells) and a protein from silk called fibroin.
