Dr. Bor Jang received his MS and PhD degrees in Materials Science from MIT. He is a former Dean of the College of Engineering at Wright State University and a former Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor with the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Jang is a co-inventor of 270+ US patents (issued or pending), out of which 160 US patents are related to graphene. Dr. Jang and Dr. Aruna Zhamu, are recognized by Cambridge IP (“Patenting Flatland: Graphene,” April 2012) as the world’s No. 1 and No. 3 graphene inventor, respectively. Drs. Jang and Zhamu co-founded Angstron Materials, Inc. in 2007. Angstron is a global leader in the development and mass production of graphene materials. He is also a co-founder of Nanotek Instruments, Inc.
Dr. Jang’s team successfully produced isolated single-layer and multi-layer pristine graphene sheets as early as 2002 (B. Z. Jang and W. C. Huang, “Nano-scaled Graphene Plates,” US Patent Application No.

Abstract
Dr. Jang filed his first patent application on graphene as early as October 2002 [Ref. 1]. Dr. Jang and his business partner, Dr. Aruna Zhamu, co-founded Angstron Materials, Inc. (AMI) in 2007. Angstron is currently world’s largest producer of single-layer graphene oxide. Dr. Jang will offer some personal perspectives on the rapidly emerging graphene industry, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges in commercializing graphene materials and products.
This presentation will begin with a brief definition of graphene materials, trying to clarify some of the confusion and inconsistency in nomenclature of graphene. This will be followed by a brief review of the most promising mass production processes for graphene materials, including both pristine graphene and graphene oxide.
The technical and commercial challenges experienced by graphene producers will be high-lighted. For instance, a significant challenge is the notion that graphene is a unique material that requires different processes to bring out the most desirable characteristics for a particular application. In other words, different processes are required to produce different types of graphene materials for different applications in different market sectors.
There are also technical, economical, and regulatory issues that must be addressed in order for the large-scale production of affordable graphene materials to be fully realized. This will be followed by a discussion of some of the potential and realized applications of graphene materials, including supercapacitors, batteries, and functional composites.
