It has proven very difficult to mass produce at a significantly reduced cost, but hopefully that is precisely what Nanoxplore has done.
We'll know for sure sometime Q1 I believe, but 'til then it's still all speculation. If successful , the payoff should be huge!
I have read an article last month that they are testing Graphene in street surfacing in Oxfordshire, in first UK trial of the 'wonder material' to prevent cracks and double the lifespan of roads. The new road surfacing, Gipave, will combine graphene with recycled asphalt. It would be interesting to see how the test turns out.
