Making graphene affordable

I met him when I was at one of the demo days at the Yes!Delft [1] incubator on campus. Had a hard time understanding the basic idea of what he had developed but it was clear that the resident coaches were expecting big things. He was in the process of putting a business plan together, so I'm curious if he's managed to land at the incubator, or if he's still searching for a way to liftoff. In any case, it's great to see that fundamental research in the Applied Physics department is making it's way into the business world.

The relevant paper, which (I guess) outlines parts of his PhD thesis findings: http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.6771 It's important to mention that the graphene produced with the method from the article has apparently some different characteristics than the graphene obtained by the classical method of exfoliation.

Reviving a dead comment: "Similar to other man made materials such as fiberglass, carbon nanotubes, commercial cellulose, and of course asbestos; what is good for industry is often not good for people's health and disposal and handling are often not big concerns for the people manufacturing and selling these materials. This may be a serious problem in the future when these materials end up in the environment, where there interactions with natural systems in unpredictable."

This is a valid concern, what is the system for censorship here?

This might end up being fantastic news for more sustainable energy battery storage down the road.
