The isolation of graphene in 2004 by two scientists at the
University of Manchester-a breakthrough later recognised by the
Nobel Prize for physics-revealed to the world a brand new 'wonder
material' which had been 'completely hidden from science'.
Graphene, the world's first two-dimensional material, promises huge
opportunities for a range of sectors, from aerospace to energy to
biomedical. But how can the UK be known for 'Made in Britain' as
well as discovered in Britain? As an answer, this book explores how
the Manchester model of innovation has evolved to not only support
great science but also accelerate the adoption of graphene into
real-world products and anchoring an innovation ecosystem in the
place of UK discovery. This book features first-hand experience,
case studies and interviews with key strategic players in the
graphene story to illustrate how Manchester has built a unique
model of collaboration with industry to create an ecosystem that
features a supply chain of companies not only producing graphene
material but also starting to disrupt the marketplace with new
products and application as we approach the tipping point of
commercialisation.
