This report presents the performance results of concrete reinforced with Graphenergy® polymeric macrofibers, engineered with graphene oxide to enhance compatibility, bonding, and strength. ASTM C78 and C1609 tests show that after cracking, the concrete retained between 69% and 94% of its original strength and exceeded the minimum residual strength specification by more than 300%. These findings confirm that Graphenergy® macrofibers provide an effective three-dimensional reinforcement, significantly improving toughness and crack control in concrete from early ages.

Hydrogels are versatile materials with high water absorption capacity and properties that make them ideal for biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications. The incorporation of graphene and its derivatives has significantly enhanced their mechanical, electrical, and stimuli-responsive characteristics. This article explores the evolution, classification, and properties of hydrogels, and how their integration with nanomaterials like graphene is unlocking new possibilities for the development of smart and sustainable devices.
