Graphene has many record properties. It is transparent like (or better than) plastic, but conducts heat and electricity better than any metal, it is an elastic thin film, behaves as an impermeable membrane, and it is chemically inert and stable. Thus it is ideal for the production of next generation transparent conductors. Thin and flexible graphene-based electronic components may be obtained and modularly integrated, and thin portable devices may be assembled and distributed. Graphene can withstand dramatic mechanical deformation, for instance it can be folded without breaking. Foldable devices can be imagined, together with a wealth of new form factors, with innovative concepts of integration and distribution. At present, the realisation of an electronic device (such as, e.g., a mobile phone) requires the assembly of a variety of components obtained by many technologies. Graphene, by including different properties within the same material, can offer the opportunity to build a comprehensive technological platform for the realisation of almost any device component, including transistors, batteries, optoelectronic components, photovoltaic cells, (photo)detectors, ultrafast lasers, bio- and physico-chemical sensors, etc. Such change in the paradigm of device manufacturing would revolutionise the global industry. UK will have the chance to re-acquire a prominent position within the global Information and Communication Technology industry, by exploiting the synergy of excellent researchers and manufacturers. We propose a programme of innovative and adventurous research, with an emphasis on applications, uniquely placed to translate this vision into reality. Our research consortium, led by engineers, brings together a diverse team with world-leading expertise in graphene, carbon electronics, antennas, wearable communications, batteries and supercapacitors. We have strong alignment with industry needs and engage as project partners potential users. We will complement and wish to engage with other components of the graphene global research and technology hub, and other relevant initiatives. The present and future links will allow UK to significantly leverage any investment in our consortium and will benefit UK plc. The programme consists of related activities built around the central challenge of flexible and energy efficient (opto)electronics, for which graphene is a unique enabling platform. This will be achieved through four main themes. T1: growth, transfer and printing; T2: energy; T3: connectivity; T4: detectors. The final aim is to develop "graphene-augmented" smart integrated devices on flexible/transparent substrates, with the necessary energy storage capability to work autonomously and wireless connected. Our vision is to take graphene from a state of raw potential to a point where it can revolutionise flexible, wearable and transparent (opto)electronics, with a manifold return for UK, in innovation and exploitation. Graphene has benefits both in terms of cost-advantage, and uniqueness of attributes and performance. It will enable cheap, energy autonomous and disposable devices and communication systems, integrated in transparent and flexible surfaces, with application to smart homes, industrial processes, environmental monitoring, personal healthcare and more. This will lead to ultimate device wearability, new user interfaces and novel interaction paradigms, with new opportunities in communication, gaming, media, social networking, sport and wellness. By enabling flexible (opto)electronics, graphene will allow the exploitation of the existing knowledge base and infrastructure of companies working on organic electronics (organic LEDs, conductive polymers, printable electronics), and a unique synergistic framework for collecting and underpinning many distributed technical competences.

石墨烯具有许多记录属性。它像塑料一样透明（或比塑料更好），但是比任何金属都能进行热和电能，它是一种弹性薄膜，表现为不可渗透的膜，并且化学惰性和稳定。因此，它是生产下一代透明导体的理想选择。可以获得薄而柔性的石墨烯电子组件并模块化，并可以组装和分布薄的便携式设备。石墨烯可以承受戏剧性的机械变形，例如，它可以折叠而不会破裂。可以想像可折叠的设备，以及许多新的形式，以及整合和分布的创新概念。 目前，电子设备的实现（例如，手机）需要许多技术获得的各种组件。石墨烯通过在同一材料中包含不同的特性，可以为建立一个综合的技术平台，以实现几乎所有设备组件，包括晶体管，电池，光电组件，光伏电池，光伏电池，（照片）探测器，超快激光器，生物 - 化学传感器和物理化学传感器等。英国将有机会利用优秀的研究人员和制造商的协同作用，重新获得全球信息和通信技术行业的重要地位。我们提出了一项创新和冒险研究的计划，重点是应用程序，以将这种愿景转化为现实。由工程师领导的我们的研究联盟将一支多元化的团队汇集在一起​​，拥有石墨烯，碳电子，天线，可穿戴通信，电池和超级电容器的世界领先专业知识。我们与行业需求有很强的一致性，并作为项目合作伙伴潜在用户参与其中。我们将补充并希望与石墨烯全球研究和技术中心的其他组件以及其他相关计划。当前和未来的链接将使英国能够大大利用我们财团的任何投资，并将使英国PLC受益。该程序由围绕灵活和节能（OPTO）电子的核心挑战构建的相关活动组成，该电子产品是一个独特的启示平台。这将通过四个主要主题实现。 T1：增长，转移和印刷； T2：能量； T3：连通性； T4：探测器。最终目的是在柔性/透明基板上开发“石墨烯气增强”智能设备，并具有必要的储能能力，以自主和无线连接工作。我们的愿景是将石墨烯从原始潜力的状态带到可以彻底改变柔性，可穿戴和透明（Opto）电子设备的地步，并在创新和剥削方面具有多种回报。石墨烯在成本优势以及属性和性能的独特性方面都有好处。它将启用廉价，能源自主和一次性设备和通信系统，并集成在透明且灵活的表面，并应用于智能家居，工业流程，环境监测，个人医疗保健等。这将导致最终的设备可穿戴能力，新的用户界面和新颖的互动范例，并在沟通，游戏，媒体，社交网络，体育和健康方面提供新的机会。通过启用灵活的（Opto）电子产品，石墨烯将允许利用有机电子产品（有机LED，导电聚合物，可打印电子产品）的公司的现有知识库和基础设施，以及用于收集和支撑许多分布式技术能力的独特协同框架。
