Introduction

• Discovered at the university of Manchester (2004)

• Professor Andre Geim

• Dr. Kostya Novoselov

• Awarded Nobel prize in physics

• 2-D crystalline allotrope of carbon

• thinnest material; only one atom thick

• Lightest but harder than diamond

• 200x Stronger than steel

Analysis of Issue

• Graphene is in developing phase.

• No proper synthesis method.

• Some issues with the electrical properties.

• Issues surrounding biocompatibility and

cytotoxicity are still to be fully addressed.

Graphene Stock Buying

• While there are many companies doing Graphene

related research, most of them are privately held

and not available on the stock exchanges.

• Intel, Samsung and IBM companies are looking

closely at Graphene technology

• The strong players are beginning to emerge, but

this technology is still a few years away from main

stream commercial production.

Findings of the Study

• Discovered at The University of Manchester

back in 2004.

• Benefits and strength of Graphene.

• Development of foldable gadgets and

flexible hardware.

• Possibility for new Hardware manufactures

to come in the market.

Impacts in the Society

• Graphene may hold key to speeding up DNA

sequencing.

• Graphene to Speed up Computers up to 1000X

• Patent surge reveals global race.

• Condom mechanics of graphene.

• Graphene windows' clearer focus

• Bendy gadget future for graphene.

• 3D Printing with Graphene.

Pros & Cons: foldable

Summary

• Discovered at The University of Manchester back

in 2004.

• One atom thick, optically transparent, chemically

inert and an excellent conductor.

• Excellent candidate for applications in various

electro-optical devices.

• Improves the durability and simplifies the

technology.

Conclusion

• Graphene has an interesting history, and will be a

wonder in future.

• First, the quality and availability of “synthetic”

graphene will continue to improve.

• Second, chemical modification of graphene’s basal

plane or its edges will substantially influence

graphene-based devices

• Third, industrial use of graphene as a transparent

conductor could have huge implications for the

solar industry.

Recommendations

• Making electronic as well as metal substitute

goods.

• Foldable gadgets can be achieved through the use

of graphene.

• Mixture of graphene and elastic polymer such as

latex can give rise to new substances.

• Additional Research should be done whether to

find demerits.
