Graphene in 1947: Wallace theory · 458
Read the condition on Graphene before the nickname. Year 1947, line “Wallace theory,” figure 2004. Manchester NGI is a reference point in the public image of Graphene.
Scores compare Graphene with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates. Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
This atlas treats Graphene as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: ~3000–5000 W/m·K in-plane (theory/exp bands). Insulation score 18/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: carbon; not a building product. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: Geim & Novoselov 2004, Manchester. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: carbon-fiber. Circularity mark 42/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year. Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Graphene honest.
The label keeps Graphene, 1947, and 2004. “Wallace theory” is the condition on the figure.1947
