How Graphene in Concrete Is Revolutionising Industries with a Single Layer of Atoms

Graphene in concrete is the next big talking point in the construction sector and for good reason. This extraordinary material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been heralded as a ‘wonder material’ due to its remarkable properties. Despite its seemingly delicate structure, graphene boasts unparalleled strength. This feature has propelled its use across various industries, fundamentally altering conventional materials and methods. One of the most intriguing applications of graphene is in the realm of construction, particularly in the enhancement of concrete.

Graphene seems to be making headlines across various industries and Highways England has also joined in. They are partnering with the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) in Manchester to investigate the use of graphene on surfaces. The idea is to find out whether adding graphene to roads and pavements could result in decreased deterioration.

It all started when Prof Sir Andre Geim and Prof Sir Kostya Novoselov first isolated the material at Manchester University in 2004. GEIC opened in December 2018 to specialise in the rapid development and upscaling of graphene and other applications for 2D materials.
