Hydrothermal Graphite Deposit Ammenable for Commercial Graphene Applications
I'm wondering if nano graphite can be added to soft material, like cloth, providing a stronger material. IF it can, then let your imigination run with using nano graphite to protect inflatable habitats.

The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is an expandable habitat technology demonstration for the International Space Station. Expandable habitats greatly decrease the amount of transport volume for future space missions. These “expandables” are lightweight and require minimal payload volume on a rocket, but expand after being deployed in space to potentially provide a comfortable area for astronauts to live and work. They also provide a varying degree of protection from solar and cosmic radiation, space debris, atomic oxygen, ultraviolet radiation and other elements of the space environment.
