Graphene-based lightweight composite materials could be key to the next generation of electric vehicles
Graphene-based composite materials with epoxy resins allow to introduce into the market composite materials with higher performance or composite materials with a reduce weight with unchanged performance. A more light composite material leads to reduced fuel consumption, less emission with a significant reduction of the carbon footprint.
Examples of Applications
Blast resistant helicopters, vehicles and ships
More stiffer and lighter helmets for skiers, cyclists and motorcyclists
Lighter and more resistant tennis and badminton rackets with reduced burden on players
Golf clubs far lighter and with higher swing speed
Wind turbine blades with improved efficiency
