An experimental set-up for loading graphene flakes in both tension and compression is shown in the image. This technique allows investigation not only of bare flakes (just laid out on the plastic substrate) but also of flakes embedded within the beam. The embedded graphene flakes can sustain tensile strains of over 1.3%, whereas in compression no further loading is possible up to 0.7%.

Graphene-Based Textiles Personal thermal management and fire retardancy are the two important aspects of next generation smart textiles, and graphene and its derivatives have the capability to enable both of them. In article number 2205934, Boyang Mao, Zheling Li, Kostya S. Novoselov, and co-workers provide an overview of the current progress in this field, and some critical thoughts and perspectives for future studies.
