@matrixsasuke @mangeurdenuage Probably because graphene doesn't seem to fail in stages unlike steel reinforcement that tends to yield a bit before failing.

>adding 0.03% graphene oxide (GO) bolstered concrete's flexural strength by over 40%, and a concentration of 0.05% GO optimized flexural strength by roughly 35%. Impressively, some studies showcased an elevation of up to 79.5% in flexural strength. Notably, incorporating just 0.01–0.1% graphene by weight can amplify compressive strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus by over 100%.
:akko_wtf2: either this research is false af or it will change a lot of things.
The amount of material needed for the same result will just permit new types of constructions, it's crazy.

@mangeurdenuage I don't think it's plain false. Graphene is well known among material scientists for its amazing properties. But there are probably reasons why we don't have it, yet. More expensive? More complicated? idk
