HMG Paints has partnered with Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) to develop and commercialize graphene-containing coatings for a variety of industries.

Graphene, a material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been touted as the strongest material known to exist, 200 times stronger than steel, lighter than paper, and with extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties. But can it live up to its promise?

HMG Paints Ltd, the Manchester, UK-based paint manufacturer, has joined the EU-funded PolyGraph Project that aims to utilize the properties of graphene to develop pioneering materials that are stronger, tougher and more flexible than ever before.

A Northwestern University-led team recently found the answer to a mysterious question that has puzzled the materials science community for years, and it came in the form of some surprisingly basic chemistry.

A thin layer of graphene paint can make impermeable and chemically resistant coatings that could be used for food packaging and corrosion protection, according to new findings from researchers at The University of Manchester in England.

The prospect of turning coal into fluorescent particles may sound too good to be true, but the possibility exists, thanks to scientists at Rice University.

IBM scientists have been able to differentiate the chemical bonds in individual molecules for the first time using a technique known as noncontact atomic force microscopy (AFM).

University at Buffalo (UB) researchers are making significant progress on rust proofing steel using a graphene-based composite that could serve as a nontoxic alternative to coatings that contain hexavalent chromium, a probable carcinogen.

Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rice University have discovered how graphene enables near-perfect wetting transparency.
