Rapid technique for preparing conductive graphene-borosilicone putty

When borosilicone putty is filled with graphene sheets, the result can be a "g-putty"--an electrically conducting putty that is exquisitely sensitive to deformation. In this work, we present a rapid method for producing g-putty from commercially available ingredients. The process can be performed at room temperature and has methanol as its only waste product.
