Characteristics and properties of graphene, a revolutionary material in construction

Research concerning the potential of graphene in the construction industry, the study of its properties and its influence on traditional building materials is abundant. It was investigated that graphene contains carbon atoms located in a hexagonal structure, with which we assure a revolution and development in the construction of buildings and structures. With the objective of demonstrating its high mechanical resistance, as well as determining its durability and reinforcement in composite materials. For the research we considered points such as its high thermal and electrical conductivity that makes the material attractive, increasing energy efficiency and reducing construction costs. A qualitative methodology that collects non-numerical data was established for the research. This scientific paper emphasized the exceptional mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of graphene, material consisting of carbon atoms. The advantages of including graphene in construction materials, such as increased strength, conductivity and durability, were recorded. The implementation of graphene remains costly due to complex processes and high purity despite being a recyclable and sustainable material found in abundance in nature.
