GRAPHENE

Now we have talked about what will be the future and materials including Graphene . Recall that graphene carbon is a variant formed by carbon atoms and covalent bonds. It offers a high thermal and electrical conductivity and high strength.

Given its characteristics its uses are almost limitless applications and revolutionize all fields that apply . In Omicrono already talked graphene headphones that offer equal or superior to the best shopping headphones answer. I also talked graphene -based IBM managed to create that chip , which is 10,000 times faster than conventional .Graphene is an exciting material, but its main problem is the production and the price of doing so. There is not yet a specialized market that produces it on a large scale and try to lower its price and increase its accessibility.

In Poland there are a number of technology startups , and among them is one that just started production of graphene commercially.This startup was launched in 2011, which is remarkable , since at that time was not even graphene mediated or as in the mouth of all. This startup is owned by mining giant KGHM and the Industrial Development Agency (ARP ) . The technology we are pursuing has been developed by the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology in Warsaw.

Details on the method of production are complex (at least for me) and are adapted from epitaxy , based on carbon crystallization . The most interesting and truly remarkable is the fact that ensure that the process is efficient and cheap , and the necessary production equipment is commercially available.

Graphene is a material with amazing possibilities, almost science fiction, and remember that their discoverers Geim and Novoselov were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for his feat . After that , graphene has been much media coverage , and many future technologies go through its use and application .

That there appeared the first company able to produce commercially is no doubt exciting , and indicates that in a few years his condition would graphene futuristic and conceptual material and become commonplace.Forecasts indicate that this material would be in the market and begin to apply conductive materials in 2025 .
