What is Grafene?

Graphene, which was obtained experimentally only a decade ago, is the most widely studied material in the world today. Although
hundreds of two-dimensional (2D) crystals are available, graphene is undoubtedly the most famous because of it’s intrinsic characteristics. It is produced from graphite and consists of a monoatomic layer of carbon atoms, arranged in a hexagonal structure.

It is the thinnest material in nature and has the thickness of a single atom.

Graphene covers a very high surface area and is an almost impermeable barrier to most chemical elements.

Performance

Tecnofilati, always with it’s focus on innovative and performing materials, has developed a new generation of antistatic yarns able to chemically bind graphene to the yarn surface.

The graphene used in these yarns is of the highest quality available on the market, with an accurate control of the atomic layers (average distribution of 6 ÷ 8 atomic layers). The advantage of a chemical bond with the surface of the yarn guarantees, in comparison with a classic coating, excellent resistance to abrasion, washing, and limit’s the increase in weight of the yarn and it’s stiffness. The coating dimension is nanometric with respect to the micrometric dimension of the fibres constituting the yarn.
