The Impact of Graphene on the Plastic Industry:
Plastic originated in 1860 with the development of celluloid, a material designed to replace ivory, marking the starting point for modern plastics. While plastics are indispensable in many industries, their uncontrolled use has caused an environmental crisis, prompting the need for circular economies and recycling. Not all plastics are recyclable, and recycled plastics often lose properties during processing. Nanotechnology, particularly the use of graphene, has enhanced the performance of both virgin and recycled plastics. Even in low concentrations, graphene significantly improves the strength and durability of polymers.

Innovation in Non-Stick Coatings
Non-stick coatings prevent the adhesion of substances to surfaces, based on their low surface energy, which allows them to provide high water repellency (hydrophobic behavior). In the following article you will learn how graphene materials improve non-stick effects, as well as other properties such as resistance to abrasion and UV radiation.
