Question About Graphene
Would it be possible to vulcanize graphene,similar to how it is done with isoprene, even though they are very different chemicals, would sulfur
molecules be able to bond two carbon atoms together in graphene?

Probably, but the manner in which the vulcanization occurred would greatly affect the properties of the resulting material.

It would not be able to conduct electricity, or filter water, but could it be used in rubber?

What have you tried already in your rubber experiments ?

I'm not certain that it would no longer conduct electricity, but it might very well conduct it less effectively.
If you could find a way to bind sheets of graphene together with sulfur... that might be interesting. I highly doubt that the resulting material would
be rubbery... more likely it would be extremely hard and strong but would break down at relatively low temperatures.
