New Graphene Fiber Outperforms Copper in Heat Conduction and Matches Carbon Fiber Strength

Researchers at Zhejiang University have developed a new wet-spinning process to create graphene fibers that combine exceptional tensile strength with high thermal conductivity. This innovation overcomes the traditional trade-off between strength and heat conduction by using a viscous glycerol dispersion and ultrahigh-ratio drawing, resulting in fibers that conduct heat better than copper while matching the strength of top carbon fibers.
