Hi there, my names Noel Craig, I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland and would like to ask the community here
about their experience with graphene as a potential additive in lightweight high strength composite 
materials. Alternatively perhaps you have heard about the material but have been driven away by the
shocking cost of it.

I ask because it has been the subject of personal research along with nano materials  for around two years now
and I have developed my own top down environmentally friendly and highly scale-able approach to it's production.
I am not here to sell my material but just to get an idea as to how common in usage the material has become.

Thanks
Noel

The majority of products I was talking about are sports equipment like bike frames, etc. The graphene didn't fail, it just didn't made any difference. The powder is usually added to the resin, to increase it's strength. The problem only is: the resin isn't really the strength critical component of a well made composite structure. Maybe it increases the resin characteristics, maybe it doesn't. It doesn't really matter anyways. The contend was fairly low, 2-5% I think.
