Abstract: Methods for reshaping graphene oxide sheet-containing structures using water are provided. Graphene oxide sheet-containing structures can be reshaped by applying a force to a graphene oxide sheet-containing structure, wherein the force changes the initial shape of the structure to a new shape. While the force is still acting on the graphene oxide sheet-containing structure, liquid water is applied to the structure to dissipate stress induced by the force and the structure is then dried. When the force is removed, the graphene oxide sheet-containing structure remains fixed in the new shape.

Abstract: Methods of forming dual core golf ball constructions achieving consistent and repeatable concentricity by incorporating a pair of novel partially cured hemispherical shells produced using an inventive center plate button. The pair of resulting novel hemispherical shells may be collectively compression molded about and reliably center a spherical inner core there within due to the novel resulting centering features/structure provided on the inner surface of each partially cured hemispherical shell by the novel center plate button used to form same. Securing features/structure are thereby provided within/on inner surfaces of resulting partially cured hemispherical shells in order to prevent undesirable movement of the spherical inner core there within until the final compression molding step occurs.
