Abstract
Graphene was first identified in 2004, and it has remarkable properties. Atoms of Graphene are very tightly bonded so, like carbon nanotubes, which makes it super-strong, even more, potent than diamond. Moreover, it has good Heat conductivity, Electrical conductivity, and optical properties. Application in the dental field, especially in prosthodontics, includes the addition to Polymethylmethacrylate and improving its properties. In removable and implant prosthodontics in the last five years, this biomaterial had evoked immense research interest.
Highlights
Graphene is stiff, amazingly thin, almost completely transparent, extremely light, and a tremendous conductor of electricity and heat
It can be stretched by a tremendous amount (20-25 percent of its original length) without breaking because the flat planes of carbon atoms in graphene can undergo flexion [1,3,4]
Sheets of graphene have such close-knit carbon atoms that they will work like super-fine atomic nets, stopping other materials from getting through [3,4]
Summary
Amazingly thin, almost completely transparent, extremely light, and a tremendous conductor of electricity and heat. It has some highly unusual electronic properties [1,2]. It is a single layer of graphite. Each graphene layer is formed of hexagonal “rings” of carbon, giving a honeycomb-like appearance [1,2]
