grabbed some good videos about emerging tech stuff thats being done at the grassroots level... some guy making graphene plastic thats twice as strong as steel
one trick was to mix some Whey powder + Graphite in a blender with water for 1/2 hour straight and let it sit for awhile to separate... end up with Graphene suspended in water but coated in proteins (so that it doesn't turn back into simple graphite) can be easily mixed in with other things, mainly they tested it by mixing it with concrete and it was 10-50% stronger.
then using the graphene from that it could be mixed in as an additive with Bakelite (casein) a homemade plastic... it has to be dried into flakes and heated then put in a 20 ton press but it produces plastic that'll stop a 9mm round with just a 3mm plate of it. Except for the 20 ton press, all of that is so simple it can be done in a garage, and a machine shop can have the press. Its also stab-proof which is what I guess they first considered since they live in the UK.
its 2 times stronger than steel by volume
10 times stronger than steel by weight.
Somehow this guy or his videos haven't been offed yet...
