Graphene in Construction: Disrupting Materials, Defying Sceptics

Wednesday, 16 April 2025

Graphene is poised to revolutionise the construction industry, offering enhanced strength, durability, and sustainability for materials like concrete. However, despite its promise, skepticism remains about its scalability and commercial viability. This session will explore the path to overcoming these barriers, focusing on the real-world applications of graphene in construction. Panelists will discuss the challenges of scaling production, performance advantages, and how industry leaders can collaborate to drive widespread adoption. Join us as we explore how graphene can disrupt traditional materials and shape the future of construction by turning potential into reality. 

 

Discussion Points:  

• What are the key technological and production challenges in scaling graphene for use in construction materials, and how are these being addressed? 

• How does graphene-enhanced concrete compare to traditional concrete in terms of strength, durability, and cost, and what real-world applications are proving its value? 

• What barriers—both technical and regulatory—are preventing wider adoption of graphene in the construction industry, and how can these be overcome? 

• How can industry leaders and innovators work together to dispel skepticism and drive confidence in the performance and economic viability of graphene-based construction materials?
