| Abstract | If natural rubber derived from Parthenium argentatum, more commonly called Guayule, is infused with graphene, then it will form the world’s first nanocomposite material - Graphene reinforced Guayule Rubber (G-GR), that is electrically conductive with enhanced mechanical properties and hypoallergenic, to be utilized in the medical field to produce products and sensors for individuals suffering from Type 1 Hev-b (natural rubber) latex allergy. |
