Semiconductors

• Higher-Conductivity Interconnects: Graphene’s exceptional electrical conductivity and strength are being leveraged to improve semiconductor interconnects (the tiny wiring on chips). A recent study in Nano Letters (2024) demonstrated a “graphene-all-around” metallization for nanometer-scale cobalt interconnects, achieving ~10.8% higher current carrying capacity and ~27% lower resistance compared to a standard metal interconnectpubs.acs.org. In a related effort, IBM researchers showed that capping copper interconnect lines with a graphene layer (grown at chip-compatible temperatures) can reduce line resistance by ~5% while greatly enhancing electromigration lifetime (i.e. reliability under high current stress)research.ibm.com. These improvements stem from graphene’s ability to act as a conductive diffusion barrier, preventing metal atom migration and reducing scattering, thereby enabling faster and more durable chip wiring.

• Reduced Contact Resistance and Better Interfaces: Graphene is also being explored as an ultra-thin interfacial layer in semiconductor packaging and devices to lower contact resistance. A 2024 study in the journal Electronics found that inserting a CVD-grown graphene sheet between metal and dielectric layers significantly decreased the contact resistance at the interfacemdpi.com. The graphene layer improved adhesion and stability of the metal-dielectric bond while maintaining excellent electrical contact. By integrating graphene at interfaces (for example, in advanced chip bonding or 3D stacking), researchers achieved more robust connections with measurably lower resistance, which can translate to faster signal propagation and reduced heat generation in integrated circuitsmdpi.com.

• Thermal Management Improvements: Another critical semiconductor application is using graphene to enhance thermal interface materials (TIMs) for cooling electronics. Vertically aligned graphene structures have extremely high through-plane thermal conductivity, helping dissipate heat from chips. For instance, a 2024 study in Nano Research developed a graphene foam-based TIM that reached an out-of-plane thermal conductivity of ~48 W/m·K and very low contact resistance. In practical tests, this graphene-enhanced TIM achieved about 185% higher cooling efficiency compared to a standard commercial thermal padlink.springer.com. Likewise, aligned graphene TIMs have outperformed conventional materials like copper: one report showed a ~66% reduction in temperature (better cooling) versus a copper pad of similar size. These results illustrate how graphene’s superior heat conduction can keep semiconductor devices cooler, improving performance and reliability.

 Allkemie’s graphene can reach the purity required for the semiconductor industry.

Defense

Allkemie has already worked with the Air force in a solution for CBRN suit. See the release below in the SBIR database.

"To address the Air ForceÆs need for advanced Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) protection, Allkemie LLC proposes the development of a two-part Graphene CBRN Overgarment. This innovative protective suit integrates graphene materials to provide superior CBRN resistance and ballistic protection while significantly reducing weight and thermal load. The first part of the overgarment, a cloth-like graphene composite, offers enhanced maneuverability and comprehensive protection against CBRN agents. The second part consists of a graphene/polymer composite for ballistic protection, capable of meeting or exceeding Level III+ standards at a fraction of the weight of current solutions. This dual-layer approach ensures maximum protection and comfort for military personnel in hazardous environments, enhancing mission readiness and operational effectiveness."

• Polymer/graphene nanocomposites for aerospace
  A 2023 review in Carbon Trends covers graphene and GO reinforced composite materials used in aerospace structures—including epoxy, thermoplastics, and carbon fiber composites. Graphene oxide nanofillers were shown to boost tensile strength, fracture toughness, fatigue resistance, thermal stability, flame resistance, and even radiation shielding in aerospace-grade laminates (0.25–3 wt% loadings) MDPI+1.

• Industrial CFRP laminates containing graphene-related materials
  A 2020 experimental study demonstrated manufacturing aeronautical-grade carbon fiber composites with GO or rGO dispersed into an epoxy matrix via standard prepreg/autoclave processes. The resulting multiscale composites exhibited noticeable improvements in in‑plane shear strength, interlaminar shear strength (delamination resistance), flexural and tensile properties—without sacrificing producibility or quality arXiv.

• Structural supercapacitor composite
  A 2024 paper describes GO-based carbon fiber composites that serve both as load-bearing structural materials and as supercapacitors—maintaining ~99.6% capacitance retention under mechanical load, plus a tensile strength of ~139 MPa and modulus of ~8.6 GPa. While designed for energy storage integration, this architecture demonstrates that GO/carbon fiber composites can carry structural loads while sustaining functionality Springer+15.

• Antimicrobial textiles decorated with GO
  A 2023 study in International Journal of Molecular Sciences compared textiles (e.g., cotton) decorated with graphene oxide and other carbon materials. GO-coated fabrics showed up to 98% inhibition of E. coli and S. aureus, and maintained ~90% effectiveness even after multiple washes. This aligns very closely with your in‑house coated‑fabric test scenario Nature+4.

• GO coatings for sustained oral antimicrobial effect
  Published in Scientific Reports (2022), this work developed GO/antimicrobial surfactant ultrathin films for dental surfaces. The GO layer self‑adhered even after rinsing and sustained antibacterial action against S. mutans and A. naeslundii for up to 7 days—demonstrating GO’s ability to retain active agents on a substrate surface over time PMC.

• Antibacterial epoxy-coated aluminium surfaces with GO
  An applied-materials study reported GO coatings on aluminum exhibiting strong antimicrobial activity—due to oxidative/nanoscale-mechanical mechanisms (membrane damage, ROS generation)—suggesting GO-coated metals or fabrics can be highly effective antimicrobial surfaces, potentially relevant for healthcare or clean-room settings MDPI.
