Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Boyson, et al., “Graphene: Sheets of Carbon-based Nanoparticles,” http://www.dummies.com/education/science/nanotechnology/graphene-sheets-of-carbon-based-nanoparticles/ 5E. Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2

At the same time, however, it produces considerable data that must be effectively managed with new time- and cost-efficient tools.

From fitness trackers, smartwatches, and glucose monitors to blood pressure and cholesterol home testing kits, these intelligent devices help patients share valuable data with healthcare providers and allow greater independence in managing health conditions.

With user-friendly control screens and access to global remote technical services, the ColorMatrix FlexOne system enables faster remote diagnostics, response, data acquisition, and inventory management.

In this capacity, he is responsible for the company's digital strategy and execution, leading efforts on cloud adoption, mobility, data science, cyber security and innovative new technology developments to improve product development, service and manufacturing.
