CGRI bridges the gap between university-based research and industry-led innovations for graphene
Graphene is a form of carbon made of a single layer of atoms. It is incredibly strong and flexible, and its conductivity lends it to a broad range of applications ranging from roads and bridges to electronics to medicine.
CGRI is working with top research institutions and other experts from Jackson State University, Rice University and the U.S. Army Research and Development Center to explore potential military and civilian applications for graphene. One example is making asphalt and concrete stronger and long laster by infusing them with graphene.
