Paintings learned to protect from destruction using graphene

Graphene is  material consisting of a crystal lattice formed by hexagons of atoms or

one lattice layer one atom thick.

Graphene has exceptional properties,which have already been used in many applications and products. In a new work, the authors have created a graphene veil - a flexible and transparent film produced by chemical vapor deposition. The veil has a monoatomic thickness and can cover any area in terms of volume.

The developed membrane is impermeable to moisture, oxidizing agents and other harmful pollutants, and can also absorb large amounts of harmful ultraviolet radiation.

In addition, unlike other protective products, the graphene coating is easy to remove without damaging the surface of the artwork.
