HVM Graphene 2013

After a morning of fascinating talks on graphene and related functional materials, introductions to the topics, overviews, case studies of material applications such as electronics, displays, touch screens and interactive print, this conference third session is as follows, ending with the NGI commercialisation talk.
The Manchester-based National Graphene Institute hosts over 120 scientists and 20 industrial partnerships working on graphene related projects. A £60m NGI facility will open in Spring 2015. The building of the Graphene Bridge starts from developing secure and scalable sources of well-characterised material. It links with applications where the market case is clear and competitive. This talk will provide a briefing on the main fields of graphene research at the NGI, and our strategy for partnerships with industrial and academic research groups. The new communications strategy that has been instigated at the National Graphene Institute focuses now on the precision engineering and manufacturing of graphene, rather than its potential as a wonder material. Universities have industrial partnerships paying to engage in graphene R&D, and there are some 28 graphene manufacturing spinouts / startups.
