Graphene, a single-layer carbon atom sheet, has catapulted concrete technology into a new era. The University of Manchester, a hub for graphene innovation, in partnership with Nationwide Engineering, has developed Concretene. This material integrates graphene into concrete, resulting in a 30% strength enhancement over traditional RC30 concrete. This innovation means using less concrete for the same structural performance, significantly impacting cost and CO2 emission reductions. The potential of Concretene extends to large-scale industrial applications. Its first commercial use was in a 54×14-metre mezzanine floor at Mayfield, marking a pivotal step in its development as a widely-used building material. This installation … Continue reading Graphene’s Role in Concrete Set to  Redefine Building Standards with a Single Atom
