- This novel and significant research brought a new understanding in how graphene is derived from paper, enabling high-quality research. For example, recent work using this data showed paper-based graphene utilised in high-performance mechanical strain-sensors. This is one of the most environmentally friendly methods of producing nanomaterials and is of great interest in developing economies. On the outcome of this work, an internally awarded grant (DfE-GCRF Seed-Funding of £37,500) was gained and 6-month project researching self-powered sensors for cardiac health in developing countries, with partners in the University of Pretoria, South Africa and Zhejiang University, China, which is underway.
