Ford using graphene for sound deadening material

[Parkway Ford Lincoln SVT]

Graphene is very expensive to produce so far, but a bit goes a long way apparently … interesting article here:

That is cool stuff. Never realized that automotive would be interested in it. We looked into this material on our products at worklast year but I believe that we were concerned about the wear characteristics.

Interesting - hopefully more applications like this will help the stock prices of graphene companies.

Graphene is very expensive to produce...

The first experiment to isolate graphene was done by using pencil lead, which contains graphite, and a piece of tape, using the tape to pull off layers of graphite to create a material that is a single layer thick – graphene.

*looks in desk, finds pencils and tape.....

How much graphene do you need Ed?

How many pencils do you have? I think it would take more than what's in your desk to satisfy Ford's production requirements. LOL
