Introduction to Graphene at Manchester

The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) is located in the heart of Manchester, the city where graphene was first isolated.  The incredible properties of this 2D material has led to a wealth of research and development of new products throughout many different industries including coatings, composites and energy.  The GEIC specialises in the rapid development and scale up of products containing graphene and other 2D materials for a wide range of applications.  Working alongside industrial partners to help establish supply chain and qualification of graphene based materials and additives.  The talk will present an overview of graphene, the capabilities at the centre and routes to engagement.
