WHAT IS GRAPHICS?

Graphene was first isolated and characterized by two British physicists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, at the University of Manchester in 2004. For this groundbreaking discovery, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. Their pioneering work paved the way for new research and applications in the field of graphene, which has since aroused considerable interest in science and technology.

Graphene is a monoatomic form of carbon (2D) arranged in a hexagonal crystal structure. Its uniqueness lies in its simplicity.

A single layer of carbon atoms linked by covalent bonds. This structure gives it a series of exceptional characteristics that distinguish it as one of the most promising materials of the 21st century.

Endowed with unrivalled mechanical strength, graphene is over 200 times stronger than steel yet incredibly light. It is the only material to exhibit exceptional electrical and thermal superconductivity, enabling major advances in electronics, nanotechnology and high-performance batteries; this also makes it an ideal material for our GTSA films in a variety of applications.

Graphene also offers remarkable flexibility and exceptional transparency, paving the way for new applications in flexible displays, ultrasensitive sensors and anti-reflective coatings. Its extremely large, reactive surface offers enormous potential in the fields of catalysis, water filtration and medicine.

Thus, graphene embodies innovation in its purest form. Its unique atomic structure confers outstanding properties, offering unlimited opportunities to revolutionize industries ranging from electronics to energy, from flexible electronic devices to more efficient solar panels, from stronger and lighter composite materials to medicine and much more.
