3D Graphene Foam is a porous, high-surface area form of graphene that is synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. Graphene foam combines the unique mechanical and electrical properties of two-dimensional graphene with the properties of a metallic foam, yielding an ultra-light, highly conductive material with excellent strength and flexibility. Chemical sensors using graphene foam have been found to be nearly 10 times more efficient that sensors currently on the market; applications for this cutting-edge material continue to be investigated. American Elements 3D graphene foam is generally available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.

See more Carbon products. Carbon (atomic symbol: C, atomic number: 6) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 2 element. 
The number of electrons in each of Carbon's shells is 2, 4 and its electron configuration is [He]2s2 2p2. In its elemental form, carbon can take various physical forms (known as allotropes) based on the type of bonds between carbon atoms; the most well known allotropes are diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, glassy carbon, and nanostructured forms such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and nanofibers . Carbon is at the same time one of the softest (as graphite) and hardest (as diamond) materials found in nature. It is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element (by mass) in the universe after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon was discovered by the Egyptians and Sumerians circa 3750 BC. It was first recognized as an element by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789.
