The event will feature more than 50 expert speakers, who will explain exactly how graphene can impact the industry. Attendees will be able to explore all areas of graphene application and commercialisation through strategic keynote plenary sessions, interactive workshops, focused on-floor seminars and dedicated networking sessions.

Graphene is a single layer of pure carbon just one atom thick, in the form of a honeycomb lattice made up of hexagons. A distinction is made between single-layer and multi-layer graphene and graphene with more than 10 layers, resulting in different properties, which makes this material extremely versatile.

Ultra-thin and therefore transparent, it is an extremely efficient conductor of electricity and heat, with higher tensile strength than steel, yet flexible and abrasion-resistant and impermeable to gases.

By linking graphene oxide or functionalising it with other molecules or atoms, different chemical properties can be produced in the material.
