Nanosilica and Graphene, new materials for sustainability

Material innovation can deliver an important contribution to the reduction of energy consumption, CO2 emission and use of scarce raw material resources. In this session two examples are presented with totally different application areas – the world of construction materials and that of micro electronics, display technology and solar cells. In both cases, new materials will open the door to a more sustainable use of materials. 

Cases:
•         Nanosilica in construction materials. 
•         Graphene, the material for the future?
