Elastic cord made of material more durable than steel 200 times

Alliance Rubber is researching to produce the world's most durable graphene wires.

Alliance Rubber is studying the use of graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel, to produce elastic bands, Business Insider said on Aug. 23. This new line can change the way food is transported through the supply chain, simplifying the transport of electronic equipment and, in particular, the extremely durable.

Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel and is the most durable material ever known. James Hone, a Columbia University professor at Columbia University, says the need for an elephant to stand on a new pencil is to penetrate thin sheets of graphene like food.

Alliance Rubber will work with researchers from the University of Sussex to determine the suitable ratio between graphene and rubber to fabricate the elastic band next year, said Jason Risner, director of business strategy for the company. Low elasticity of graphene can not maximize durability, and if too much graphene loses elasticity.

According to Risner, when Alliance Rubber found the formula for perfect and unbreakable elastic bands, they could sell to a variety of industries, including retailers such as Staples, Office Depot, wholesalers. food industry and technology.

Graphene will complement many of the features traditional wires do not have, such as static elimination, which is essential for electronics carriers.

"No one in the electronics industry wants to place anything that is likely to cause static electricity near the main circuit board and other circuit boards. The risk of ruining them, " Risner shares on Business Insider.
