An environmentally friendly innovation by Waterloo Engineering researchers unlocks the potential of graphene – a material known for its strength, conductivity and thermal properties – in a diverse range of new areas.
The research team found a way to create the world’s first all-graphene ink for use with 3D printers for potential applications in environmental cleanup, consumer electronics and other fields.
“Shaping graphitic materials into complex geometries for advanced applications has long been a critical challenge that has limited their widespread adoption,” said Dr. Milad Kamkar, a chemical engineering professor. “With our proposed methods, we can 3D-print graphene into any shape.”
