From Graphene: A matter of quality

Last year saw the world's first ISO standard for graphene being published which defines the terminology used to describe the material. Soon after, there were good practice guidelines for characterisation also released by the NGI and NPL. As a result, the industry is now able to achieve more robust testing and validation of graphene products. It is therefore perhaps worth considering what impact these tools for quality assessment will have on the rate of commercial adoption for graphene. As I will aim to outline in this essay, defining quality is harder than it appears and there are other critical components besides which must not be overlooked. Read the Whole Article
