  • "Asia, particularly South Korea, has seen an explosion of graphene patents, and the majority of this research has focused on developing methods for manufacturing graphene," Quentin Tannock, chairman of CambridgeIP, told IM.

    "The important thing is to look at the quality of the research being done", Tannock said, adding that it was only a matter of time before the industry began to see "clear winners" in the graphene field.

    "If graphene were to be adopted by an automobile manufacturer as a lightweight substitute for steel and aluminium, the cost of those graphene-infused components must be competitively priced with traditional metals", [Gary Economo] told IM.
