Graphene in Consumer Goods: Revolution or Evolution, Asks IDTechEx

Since its isolation in 2004, graphene has received widespread attention as a "wonder" material, with the reported potential to enable a whole host of next-generation technologies, some of which would not be out of place in the latest sci-fi blockbuster. Many of these applications are still far off, requiring significant research and development to move from the lab to high-volume production. However, some success is now being achieved for graphene as an additive in specific applications for consumer goods. The question remains whether or not these graphene-enabled products are iterations of incumbent products or disruptive game changers.
