  1. A nanomaterial that is an efficient thermal insulator.
    • 2016, Zhongwei Zhang, Yuee Xie, Qing Peng, Yuanping Chen, “Geometry, stability and thermal transport of hydrogenated graphene nanoquilts”, in Solid State Communications‎[1], volume 213, pages 213–214:
      For the two-fold graphene nanoquilt, both geometry and thermal conductivity are very sensitive to the adsorbed hydrogen chains, which is interpreted by the red-shift of PDOS.

Usage notes

  • The term nano quilt is used for several different commercial products that are not necessarily made from nanomaterials.
