One atom - thick planar, covalently bonded to three other atoms in a tightly populated, two-dimensional (2D), hexagonal single layer stable crystal hexagonal lattice, graphene is a flattened monolayer of carbon atoms. This study describes the production of in-situ amine placed in contact gently exfoliate graphene with many layers, low degradation contents, and average aspect ratios up to 10 micron and thickness up to 2-3 Nano meter. For this study, we developed Found that participants composites (AF-MGL/EpC) with graphene fractions between 0.5 and 2.0 wt percent. The graphene concentrations used to create the four separate samples were 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.0.
