A single sheet of grapheme is just one atom thick and in order to get 1mm thick layer it requires stacking of millions of individual graphene sheets. There are some fascinating properties of graphene that make it extremely useful material in many-many applications as depicted in Figure 1. It is extremely light and extremely strong material with very high conductivity for heat and electricity. In the early days since its discovery in 2000 it was very costly and complicated to create pure graphene, but in last decade or so research in graphene has gained a lot of momentum. Many research groups around the globe have proved & explored the potential of graphene for variety of applications like building aerospace parts & building materials...
