All About Graphene
Graphene Square Inc.
Thank you for visiting our website
Graphene Square Inc. (GSQ) was founded in 2012.
To date, we have successfully secured 58 graphene related
patents. With continuous R&D efforts, GSQ aims to enable
the commercialization of graphene and also to be the
company that spearheads the advancement of graphene
related technologies.
The uniqueness of GSQ lies in its partnership with Professor
Byung Hee Hong's laboratory. "I truly believe that collaboration
between our company and the laboratory, which pioneered
the synthesis of large-area CVD graphene will bring about
immense advancement of technology." With this,
Graphene Square has the confidence that commercialization
of graphene is not far away.
