Graphene materials with unique properties are driving innovations and development of technologies in various
industries including medicine, electronics and energy. The rising demand for new materials with enhanced
mechanical, chemical and biological properties has accelerated the growth of graphene industry. However, the
unexpected outbreak of the recent COVID-19 pandemic has affected the graphene industry in various aspects.
Extensive studies have been carried out in this work to describe the impact associated with the outbreak, particularly
on biomedical and electronics applications. This study also summarized several challenges to be addressed prior
to commercializing the use of graphene in the industry, and general potential measures to be taken for crisis
management during COVID-19 are included... View More»
