MC2 Post 1735 Graphene Ink Will Let Us Print Circuits on Pretty Much Anything




Graphene is an atomic-scale honeycomb lattice made 
of carbon atoms.
 


Eventually we'll be able to Print Circuits On CLOTHING.

Like Heart Monitors for example.




Or Even Print Circuits on Thin Bendable Displays

Modern miracle stuff graphene has been used by developers to print circuits on clothing, creating a genuinely wearable form of tech that doesn’t rely on bulky watches, AR glasses or sewing computers into your flesh.

 
Given that graphene’s USP is that it manages to work despite only being one atom thick, it creates a form that’s ultimately flexible. To show off the possibilities, Cambridge University has managed to print a piano circuit board onto fabric using a conductive graphene ink while also printing 
a digital display onto a bendy bit of plastic.

Magnetic Graphene to find Applications in Spintronics

Nitrophenyl functionalized graphene can act as a room-temperature 2D magnet. The nitrophenyl-functionalization orientation and degree of coverage directly affect the magnetic properties of the graphene surface.

Talk about a multi-institutional collaboration: The pristine graphene used in these experiments was epitaxially grown at Georgia Tech. Then, it was chemically functionalized at UC Riverside. The physics of magnetism was studied at FIU and UC Berkeley.
 

"After working on this challenge since 2008, we have finally overcome it by using refined functionalization chemistry to induce interacting magnetic spins in 1D and 2D graphene nanostructures,"Jeongmin Hong, a Postdoc Fellow at UC Berkeley's Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science, tells Nanowerk. "It is the first ever experimental evidence of magnetism in graphene-based nanostructures."
