BLOG 4: MICRO AND NANO PARTICLES
The scientific world is full of new technologies, one of them is nanotechnology, which is a
Technology dedicated to the design and manipulation of matter at the level of atoms or molecules, for industrial or medical purposes, among others.
One of the most recent nanomaterials is 'graphene'. I will tell you how this nanomaterial works, what it is made of and what its utilities are.
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon substance that in recent times has become known, is a tremendously versatile material and has many qualities for the creation of flexible screens for devices such as smart phones and others.
To understand the possible applications of graphene, you must first obtain an understanding of the basic properties of this material: The first is that it was produced artificially by scientists through a mechanical exfoliation process.
One area in particular that will soon start using this material is optoelectronics, specifically touch screens, liquid crystal display (LCD).
Graphene is an almost completely transparent material and is capable of optically transmitting up to 97.7% of the light, which makes it suitable for use in optoelectronic applications.
It was not going to be all advantages: the potential dangers of graphene:
Given the nature of its structure, tremendously sharp and highly resistant are the characteristics that make it potentially dangerous in contact with human cells. It can section the cell membranes, with consequent damage to the lungs (if inhaled).
A medical implant covered with graphene could be disastrous if the coating fell off, causing a real butchery on a cellular scale.

woow i didn't know how dangerous could be :O

ResponderEliminarI always listened about grapene but i never undertood their applications and why it was dangerous, I understand now. Than you!
