The sticky tape method that was used to first isolate graphene for at The University of Manchester is still used. However this cannot be done on an industrial scale.

Other methods are used for large scale manufacturing such as chemical deposition, however research continues to be carried out to scale up new capabilities of producing larger quantities of graphene.

In this video we explor the methods used to make graphene.

The narrator is Professor Aravind Vijayaraghavan, Professor of Nanomaterials. He leads the Nanofunctional Materials Group. He is also the Head of Internationalisation (India & Business Engagement) for the Faculty of Science & Engineering. His research involves the science and technology of graphene and 2-dimensional materials, particularly for applications in composites, electronics, sensors and biotechnology.
