How do scientific ideas become market products? There is probably no single pathway for such transformation. And yet, there are certain similarities in the way how advanced materials evolve from laboratory studies to being used in technology. Common steps in such progress are the enhancement of useful properties, development of the production methods, creation of industrially-relevant modification of the material itself and its fabrication process. The reason in the emergent similarities in the pathway to market is the established relation between materials supplier and the final product manufacturers. A dramatic role in such relations is played by industrial standards. The later can help, but also, if incorrectly developed, can stumble the final product development. We will study the process of commercialisation of graphene, its transformation to commodity and the emerging graphene standardisation efforts.

科学思想如何成为市场产品？这种转变可能没有单一的途径。然而，先进材料从实验室研究发展到技术应用的方式存在某些相似之处。这种进步的常见步骤是增强有用的特性、开发生产方法、对材料本身及其制造过程进行工业相关的修改。在进入市场的途径中出现紧急相似之处的原因是材料供应商和最终产品制造商之间的既定关系。工业标准在这种关系中扮演着重要的角色。后者可以提供帮助，但如果开发不正确，可能会阻碍最终产品的开发。我们将研究石墨烯的商业化进程，
