Graphene Oxide Paper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graphene Oxide Paper is a composite material with stiffness and strength superior to all other materials^{[citation needed]}, with the exception of diamond.

The paper is fabricated from graphene oxide. It stacks well in layers, which may be able to be chemically bonded^{[citation needed]}, leading to the development of additional new materials. As a result of the oxidation of the graphene sheets used in fabrication, it is an electrical insulator^{[citation needed]}; however, it may be possible to tune this property, making the paper a conductor or semiconductor, without sacrificing its mechanical properties^{[citation needed]}.
