In the second video of a three-part series, Fenwick attorney Paul Smith talks about the growing anticipation surrounding this strong, conductive and flexible material.

Why the excitement? Simply put, graphene is easy. It’s easily adaptable to a wide variety of applications, easy to work with and easy to integrate into existing products. For example, graphene can be easily mixed with plastics, making the combined material much stronger. Bulk graphene has also been tested as a catalyst for chemical reactions, improving reaction rates and yields far more than conventional transition metal catalysts. For example, graphene has been used in fuel cells to improve the efficiency of electricity production.
