Graphene a 1-atom thick sheet of carbon in hexagonic crystal lattice. 200x stronger than steel. Tougher than diamond. World's thinnnest material. Flexible, transparent. Conducts el, heat very well. Stocks: AIXG, CVV, FCSMF, NGHPF, GTI, CHGI. PKX.
XDSL in tech licensing discussions with 2 universities.
Graphene defects makes for weakness. Pseudo Hall-Petch effect. Rice U, Tsinghua U used theoretical calcs. Defects @ grain boundaries. "Islands" of graph merge. ~1/2 as strong. Atoms @ boundaries bond in 5-7 atom rings wekaer than hex rings. 7 weakest. Found at 3-island junctions.
Graphene Nanochem raised near $50M , acquired Malay specialty chem Platinum Nanochem. GRPH. Valuation ~ $235M. Core specialty biz. Exclusive license. Catalyx. Extracts graphene from biogases. Developing lubes for shale gas.
