Scope

This conference will bring together the graphene nanocomposite community to share their latest results and discuss the future potential of these exciting next materials. There will be a mixture of contributed and invited contributions. The talks will follow composites from their production through to their processing and applications, including:

· Production of graphene and related layered materials.

· Functionalisation and dispersion of graphene into polymer matrices

· Graphene-composite structure and properties, including mechanical, barrier, thermal and electrical.

There will also be a session before the conference dinner on Monday night where the future of graphene composites will be road mapped as part of the consultation for the EU flagship call.
