    Ford using graphene for sound deadening material

    Graphene is very expensive to produce so far, but a bit goes a long way apparently … interesting article here:

    That is cool stuff. Never realized that automotive would be interested in it. We looked into this material on our products at worklast year but I believe that we were concerned about the wear characteristics.

    Interesting - hopefully more applications like this will help the stock prices of graphene companies.

    The first experiment to isolate graphene was done by using pencil lead, which contains graphite, and a piece of tape, using the tape to pull off layers of graphite to create a material that is a single layer thick – graphene.

    *looks in desk, finds pencils and tape.....


    How much graphene do you need Ed?

    How many pencils do you have? I think it would take more than what's in your desk to satisfy Ford's production requirements. LOL
