摘要:
Multi-layer packaging comprising a plurality of layers of packaging materials, wherein one or more layers amongst the plurality of layers comprise a film comprising at least one of: graphene or graphene oxide, and wherein the multi-layer packaging is impermeable to moisture or fluids. The packaging may be self-recyclable and the graphene/graphene oxide layers may be between 0.5 and 10 µm. Also included are claims to the manufacture of such a multilayer material and claims to the manufacture of graphene and graphene oxide layers. The former comprising dispersing graphene in an organic solvent, adding a stabilizer, sonicating to provide an exfoliated stabilized graphene and then filtering. The layer may be transferred from the filter which comprises a first surface to some other second surface. The method of forming a graphene oxide layer comprises diluting graphene oxide paste with deionized water sonicating and filtering this solution to obtain a layer.
