演讲题目:Graphene Industrialization – The Role of Documentary Standards and Certification
内容摘要
Over the last 10 years we have seen an extremely high dynamic in peer-reviewed scientific publications on graphene-related technologies: The amount of publications on the subject increased from less than 1.000 in 2007 to more than 27.000 in 2017 which reflects the ongoing interest of the scientific community. Over the same period of time there has been a similar development in patent applications even though the total numbers are lower by a factor of 10. This trend indicates that scientific knowledge disseminates into the industry.
This talk concentrates on standards, another class of technical documents. Similar to scientific publications and patent applications, standardization activities for graphene and other 2D materials increased strongly over the last years. While only two standards are published so far by IEC and ISO, there are 33 more under development.
The availability of standards will likely have a strong influence on the graphene market. They are intended to support a consistent quality of products so customers will buy products which conform to those standards. These standards reflect the opinion of the responsible technical committee consisting of a large number of international technical experts. Therefore they define the state of the art for the technical item described in the scope of the standard.
In this talk, an overview of the landscape of graphene standardization and current international activities will be given with the focus on certification, an important use case for standards. It will be pointed out that especially the increasing interest on certification indicates that graphene technologies are continuously diffuse into the market.
