Aerographite [SEP] material used
Aerographite
Aerographite is a synthetic foam consisting of a porous interconnected network of tubular carbon. With a density of 180 g/m it is one of the lightest structural materials ever created. It was developed jointly by a team of researchers at the University of Kiel and the Technical University of Hamburg in Germany, and was first reported in a scientific journal in June 2012.
Structure and properties.
Aerographite is a black freestanding material that can be produced in various shapes occupying a volume of up to several cubic centimeters
density is due primarily to the large proportion of air within the solid and not the silicon construction materials. Taking advantage of this, SEAgel, in the same family as aerogel but made from agar, can be filled with helium gas to create a solid which floats when placed in an open top container filled with a dense gas.
In 2012, discovery of aerographite was announced, breaking the record for the least dense material at only 0.2 mg/cm (0.2 kg/m). These solids do not
