The trouble could be controllability of how the carbon deposits on the substrate. I'm thinking quite possibility the carbon may not deposit in a perfect sheet but instead grow outwards from single points rather like snowflakes which then may begin overlapping and so rather than a perfect sheet, you end up with defects. Perhaps temperature and gas input can be regulated in a bid to control some oby Noel39NI - General
I have utilised my graphene for cooling chips but only as a conventional thermal interface material and this works pretty good in on itself, but if they can figure on actually the laying the circuitry upon a diamond substrate then that could be revolutionary!by Noel39NI - General
I hope you get the chance to test your hypothesis some time, it certainly sounds interesting and good luck with it. I will direct my attentions elsewhere until I have my graphene in pellet format then maybe I will explore this idea. again.by Noel39NI - General
The only way I'm aware off for long strips of graphene would be through chemical vapour deposition which is a fantastic technology though an expensive one. I did succeed in bridging the gap between graphene in powder form and graphene in sheet form but that involved electroless plating of graphene flakes to form a type of matrix or plate metal graphene composite. That can be done in a beaker, notby Noel39NI - General
I don't believe at this stage the idea can be progressed further. I received quick correspondence from your kind friend explaining that the graphene would need to be integrated into plastic pellets. first of all prior to being fed into the extruder. I am ill-equipped for synthesis of polymers and ill-financed to have a factory produce a minimum order quantity of pellets for me. Instead I willby Noel39NI - General
Thank you, I have contacted him on Facebook and will await a response.by Noel39NI - General
Could you possibly get in contact with him, see if he'd be interested in a little collaboration? I know it's graphene because I made it and then had it independently analysed at a Nano technologies institute so it's legit material.by Noel39NI - General
I've been trying to find somebody with a DIY filament maker for a little while now. I'm trying to establish the feasibility of adding some graphene I have made into recycled plastic prior to it being extruded into a new filament so it's characteristics can be examined. I've had some experience adding graphene into polymers in the past, but with polyurethane where I encountered some exciting resuby Noel39NI - General
