MIT researchers have found a simple solution to protect graphene from performance-impairing wrinkles and contaminants. The researchers describe a fabrication technique that applies a wax coating to a graphene sheet and heats it up. Heat causes the wax to expand, which smooths out the graphene to reduce wrinkles. Moreover, the coating can be washed away without leaving behind much residue. In experiments, the researchers’ wax-coated graphene performed four times better than graphene made with a traditional polymer-protecting layer.

interesting, but how it will work on practice

Graphene uses in battery producing. To find graphene as nanomaterial you can in special laboratories like this one. Due to their unique nanoscale size, shape, and material composition, graphene nanopowder can be applied to improve the properties of a wide range of polymeric materials, natural or synthetic rubber, adhesives, paints, lacquers and coatings.
