Detection and Inhalation Hazard Assessment of Wear Particles Arising From Abrasion of Market‐relevant Graphene Reinforced Composites

Small, EarlyView.
Abrasion of few‐layer graphene (FLG)–epoxy composites generated respirable particles in which FLG remained fully embedded, as confirmed by correlative HR‑TEM, Raman, and ToF‑SIMS analyses. Advanced lung cell models revealed no cytotoxic or inflammatory responses, and only high‑dose epoxy particles reduced mucociliary clearance.
