CAMX 2022 exhibit preview: Graphene Council

The Graphene Council (New Bern, N.C., U.S.) is a global community of more than 30,000 materials professionals that produce and use graphene to create the next generation of products and applications, including composites and plastics. Founded in 2013, it represent the interests of graphene experts and organizations, producers, researchers, application developers and end users.

Graphene Council seeks to help companies understand how to leverage 2D advanced materials, such as graphene, in order to improve products across a range of characteristics. The material imparts multiple benefits not only to composite parts, but is also being used to make tools perform better and to last longer, according to Graphene Council.

Graphene is a unique form of carbon that has distinctive properties at the atomic scale. It is said to be the thinnest known material, — so thin it is considered 2D — exhibits high strength and is highly conductive (heat and electricity). When in a single layer of carbon, graphene is almost transparent. 

Some initiatives important to the Graphene Council include Development of International Standards, material characterization and testing services, and Verified Graphene Producers inspection programs.

Companies are able to join The Graphene Council to gain access to the network and valuable resources. Member benefits include:

• The Graphene Report, an up-to-date and comprehensive global resource on commercial graphene developments.
• Two free registrations to Graphene Council Member conferences.
• Weekly graphene intelligence briefings including information from science journals, commercial news, applications and patents, and announcements of webinars, conferences and events.

Membership in the Graphene Council helps support the development of standards and the commercial adoption of this material.
