Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene


Given that graphene is quite the in vogue material for audio applications I wonder how many (if any) of the vendors selling this are actually sourcing the real thing?

Based what one can read about and discern about what Graphene is, I suspect there is a lot of claimed "graphene" out there that is most likely just mere overpriced carbon at best. Just a hunch. You never know when it comes to marketing....
@geoffkait ..  who’s manufacturing the “tons” of graphene. Give us the details. 
Here’s a list of graphene patents and their applications:

There are all electrical applications and involve circuits.
It’s more than just marketing.

All the best,

See my post of 10-22 for some large Graphene production plant locations. Emphasis on the word some. Ptss, you might try keeping up with the discussion.
The amount of crap in this thread outweighs the graphene available. In contrast to “tons” being manufactured and “commercial availability” for some years. Readers of this should review the “real news” that MIT (university), with support from the Navy and Dept of Defense, developed a method to manufacture sheets of Real Graphene that may allow mass production. They were able to create a sheet of graphene about 10 ft long. This breakthrough was in April 2018. The nonsense in this thread is pathetic. Disappointing that people resort to lies when most of us just want to learn and share facts. The big question ? Will these posters ever grow up. ???
