Graphene Coating Could Help Mitigate Glass Damage

Some types of glass erode over time in the presence of high humidity and pH, which cause glass to lose its transparency and strength. However, according to this article, researches say that graphene might help solve challenges with glass corrosion. The corrosion of silicate glass by water, for example, is a serious issue for pharmaceutical, environmental and optical industries, so researchers look for solutions for how best to coat these glasses and protect them from damage. Graphene, with its chemical inertness, thinness, and high transparency, makes it very promising as a coating material.
