The addition of just a touch of graphene could make the world s most ubiquitous building material stronger, more durable and even a touch greener.
The first graphene-enhanced concrete is about to hit the American market. April 2021 will see the culmination of a project between the Advanced Materials Division of Thomas Swan¹ and Concrene² a UK-based nanotech company.
The addition of a tiny amount of graphene supplied by Thomas Swan to concrete improves the building material s hardening process and results in a lighter and stronger structure. But, there is arguably a more important element to the addition of graphene to concrete.
