Tyres transformed into graphene for tougher concrete – E&T Magazine

Scientists at Rice University have demonstrated a process to convert waste from old rubber tyres into graphene which can, in turn, be used to strengthen concrete.
The environmental benefits of strengthening concrete such as by adding graphene are well established: Concrete is the most-produced material in the world, and simply making it produces as much as nine per cent of the worlds carbon dioxide emissions, said nanotechnology expert Professor James Tour. If we can use less concrete in our roads,…
