Graphene could be the next big flexible conductor

Graphene is a relatively new material that offers outstanding electrical, chemical and mechanical properties which in turn makes it a suitable material to see action as a flexible conductor in various electronic devices including touch screen panels and flat panel TVs. Past attempts to make large films of graphene have proved as elusive as churning out adamantium in the comics, but a team of scientists from South Korea and Japan recently managed to hit the jackpot when it comes to roll-to-roll production of graphene films, where they are grown using chemical vapor deposition onto flexible copper substrates. Flexible display is looking to have a great future with such developments.
