Ever since the discovery of graphene in a Manchester
University laboratory nine years ago, an overwhelming amount
of attention has been placed on exploring the seemingly
endless applications utilizing its many properties. A new
technological revolution has been heralded as a result,
with companies ranging from aerospace all the way to
consumer electronics recognizing the potential and pursuing
graphene based products.
Despite the opportunity however, the absence of production scale-up has yet failed to pull graphene out of research and into mass market, leaving many to ask; how can the critical challenges and adoption barriers be overcome to enable graphene’s commercialization? Where do the viable applications lie that can be brought to commercial scale? And when will it happen?
For commercially viable applications to be realized,
there is a pressing need for industrial and academic
collaboration to drive the scale up production of
successful laboratory fabrication techniques. Steps
including the initiation of material standardization to
ensure quality control must be enacted, along with
identification of the bottlenecks in upscaling
production so graphene can realize its revolutionary
potential.
Following the success of the inaugural event in the series in London this June, Graphene Commercialization and Applications 2013 is coming to Santa Clara, December 10-11 and is the first congress bringing together speakers from companies actively pursuing graphene integration, alongside leading research experts and pioneering academics, to assess graphene’s potential through the lens of its applications. The congress will evaluate commercial opportunities to drive this breakthrough material through the scale up of production, by addressing technical hurdles in application development, examining material properties and revealing cutting edge scientific breakthroughs shedding light on the timelines for mass application. |
