Isolated in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, graphene is an exceptional nanomaterial, described as a "material of the 21st century" (European Graphene Flagship project with a budget of one billion euros over 10 years). It is very light, impermeable, chemically inert, transparent, flexible yet extremely resistant and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity,
