Strengthening effect of single-atomic-layer graphene in metal-graphene nanolayered comp... - 0 views

  • Here we demonstrate a new material design in the form of a nanolayered composite consisting of alternating layers of metal (copper or nickel) and monolayer graphene that has ultra-high strengths of 1.5 and 4.0 GPa for copper–graphene with 70-nm repeat layer spacing and nickel–graphene with 100-nm repeat layer spacing, respectively.

Germany - Leoni's 2010 revenues boosted by sales in the US and BRIC - 0 views

  •  
    German wiring harness maker Leoni reported EUR2.96 billion revenues in 2010, up from EUR2.16 billion a year ago and well above its forecast for EUR2.80 billion. Revenues were fuelled by sales growth in BRIC markets as well as in the US. Strong demand for automotive components and the increase in copper prices provided additional support to revenues, especially in Q4 2010. The company realised earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of EUR131 million in 2010, reversing a EUR116 million loss in 2009. EBIT in 2010 beat Leoni's projections, which stood at EUR120 million. Leoni reiterated its full year revenue target of EUR3.10 billion for 2011, and said the unrest in Tunisia and Egypt, where it has several production sites, will not have a substantial impact on its performance.
