Thiruvananthapuram: Digital Kerala University (DAK), along with CMET-THRISSUR, prepares to establish an Indian Innovation Center for Graphene, the first R & D Graphene incubation center in Kerala.
Ministry of Electronics and has given approval for the RS 86.41-Crore project.
The center, which will be implemented with the support of the state government, has the potential to accelerate the growth of Kerala in the knowledge industry sector.
Tata Steel Ltd will be an industrial partner from the center.
Often referred to as miracle material for extraordinary electrical and electronic properties, graphene, according to the latest research, can replace indium and thus reduce the cost of the OLED (Light-Emitting Light-Emitting) on ​​a smartphone.
Graphene is the thinnest and strongest material in the world that has been known and has good chemical stability, high electrical conductivity and a large surface area while becoming transparent and light, the university authorities have said.
The head of the project investigator, DK AP James (DEK) and Dr.
A Seema (CMET-T) lead the initiative, with the aim of bridging the gap between graphene academic research and industrial applications.
This center aims to be an anchor point to promote startup and commercial research.
