The Graphene in Poland project was commenced on the initiative of the research and science community in cooperation with the industrial to bolster commercialization of solutions related to graphene. It involves the following institutions:
INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY (ITME), Lodz University of Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, Faculties of Physics of the University of Lodz and the University of Warsaw, Nano Carbon, Advanced Graphene Products (AGP) and SECO/WARWICK.
Lodz University of Technology is the creator of unique large-area HSMG ® (High Strength Metallurgical Graphene ®)graphene manufactured with a metallurgical method. This innovative method was developed by the research team led by prof. Piotr Kula at the Institute of Materials Engineering, TUL.
Compared to graphene manufactured with currently used methods, graphen manufactured at TUL is stronger and more durable and shows little variability in the physico-chemical properties under changeable temperature and pressure conditions. This type of graphene is used in developing nanocomposite material for reversible storage of hydrogen, a project called GraphRoll and carried out by Lodz University of Technology in cooperation with Seco Warwick S.A..
