GRAPHENE FASHION WEN
Good distance down the line. Apparently graphene is a major carcinogen, since it can flake, and when it does so you wind up inhaling little bits, and those little bits are so thin they can just straight up enter your cells and mess with your DNA.
The major problem with them right now is that graphene is made using chemical vapor deposition onto a metal substrate, or a plasma furnace using metal substrates. This leads to major impurities & metals being attached to carbon, which otherwise shouldn't be a problem.
It will also oxidize if it's not functionalized properly, and when the carbon is used for biological purposes the oxygen is freed and the oxygen becomes a carcinogenic free radical.
Fortunately it can be functionalized with chemical exfoliation using an organic acid, 2(COOH). This can be plant-derived so it's ultra-inexpensive as well. This is usually done in an aqueous solution and once functionalized, graphite clumps together, and it stops being so flaky.
So, to answer the when for fashion... later this year. I'm opening up the indiegogo tomorrow for a full patent and I'll be offering graphene-dyed (actually more of a
mordant, let me know what color you want and I'll start exploring the various plants that allow for cheap production of that color dye) hemp fabric clothing, to be delivered by september. Just waiting to put up the campaign because I want to test my dyeing skills out (if I dye properly, it should be fairly bulletproof, I'll record a video).
