Graphene Commercialisation and Applications: Global Industry and Academia Summit
|
|
(Nanowerk News) From its high electrical conductivity and structural strength, graphene has been cited as a “wonder material” with the potential to revolutionize materials engineering in many different industrial sectors. While the number of commercial applications for graphene is potentially unlimited, production scalability must first be established and R&D activity properly directed to ensure graphene moves out of the lab and into the market.
|
|
The Graphene Commercialisation & Applications: Global Industry & Academia Summit 2013, (25th-26th June, 2013, London), is the first forum of its kind aimed at establishing the real, commercially viable industrial applications of graphene, and expediting its role as a game-changing technology.
