Can anyone with chemistry knowledge explain like I'm five? My knowledge of chemistry is limited to what I was taught in high school 20 years ago... I know graphene is Carbon, but what confuses me is Graphene hydroxide - so these are molecules with hydrogen and oxygen? How can it be one atom thick if it's a molecule with three elements?
less surface area = more pressure on the tissues. Graphene shards are the thinnest possible razorblade (smallest surface area, thus puts most cutting pressure on the tissues) theoretically and intuitively. The graphene is essentially a 1 atom thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal format with double bonds arranged in a manner that lends to tremendous stability (through resonance if you're interested in reading more).
