Launch of Singapore standard on Structural characterisation of graphene flakes (4 parts)

Launch of Singapore standard on Structural characterisation of graphene flakes (4 parts)

This workshop will launch the new Singapore standard on Structural characterisation of graphene flakes. Highlights of the 4 parts of this new standard will be presented by the members of the Working Group. The benefits of having a Singapore standard on graphene flakes would also be shared by potential users of the standard.

Potential users of this set of standards may include manufacturers, buyers, users and testing laboratories involved in the production and commercialisation of graphene, academia and IHLs in Singapore which have formed the nanotechnology research entities, relevant regulatory bodies and conformity assessment bodies. Several industrial uses, including water purification, energy harvesting, among others can benefit from the use of this standard.
