How Graphene Is Characterized: The Tests That Actually Matter
One of the persistent problems in the graphene market is the gap between what suppliers claim and what they’re actually selling. “Graphene” has been applied to …
Graphene Safety: What We Know (and Don't Know) About Health Risks
As graphene production scales from laboratory quantities to industrial volumes — tonnes per year and growing — the question of occupational safety becomes urgent rather than …
Why Most 'Graphene' Products Aren't Really Graphene
There is an open secret in the graphene industry that everyone involved knows but few discuss publicly: a significant fraction of the materials sold as “graphene” are …
Buying Graphene: A Procurement Guide for Engineers and Managers
Graphene procurement is uniquely difficult. The material comes in half a dozen distinct forms with properties that vary by orders of magnitude, the supply chain is fragmented …
