Functionalized graphene oxide curable formulations

This invention describes how to create a special type of graphene oxide, called functionalized graphene oxide, by chemically modifying it with specific reactive monomers. This modified graphene oxide is then mixed into a liquid plastic material (resin precursor) where its chemical groups are designed to be identical to and cure simultaneously with the plastic's own building blocks. The resulting mixture is then shaped, for instance by injection molding or 3D printing through a nozzle, and hardened to form a composite material.

Why it matters: Filed before the rapid advancements in industrial 3D printing of composite materials. Improved control over extrusion and curing processes in additive manufacturing makes precise material integration more viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedChemical synthesis, industrial 3D printing, injection molding
