    Thank you. I will update you on my test. This was very helpful. I was looking for making the graphene plate but graphene is brittle. you have provided a lovely solution. You truly are a genius. Solutions providers are Geniuses. You are a real genius. Thank you again. For the circuit, we can embed the copper / lead connectors (any shape) so wires can be attached. The connectors will be sturdy.
    How long did you take to dry the plate?

  • @MrFmiller
    @MrFmiller 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It would have been useful to have a baseline resistance reading of the graphite for comparison. There must be a point of saturation where the material loses it’s plasticity. It would be interesting to see how low the resistance can be while the material is still plastic.

    • @cayrex
      @cayrex  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The graphite plastic have around 108 ohms/□. Yes, right,... you can load the PS with graphite with quite large amount, but way less load you get with activated carbon, for example (the PS lose the plasticty)

    • @cayrex

    If you mix some metal powder such as copper or aluminum into the mixture. If you then throw the pressed graphite plastic into hydrochloric acid, the metals remaining on the surface will dissolve. Metal powders that cannot be reached by the acid remain in the material and can contribute to conductivity. Also I thought this would increase the surface area of ​​the plastic, what do you think about this? I'm sorry for my bad english.
