Grafen is called the material of the new century. With less than fifteen years history, grafene is thought to be put on the material with the use of the electronic field, as well as the sciences of life and medical applications in medicine will stand out over time.

By the European Commission, EU 7. The Framework Program ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) is a part of the context of the Grafen Project, Sabanci University, which is the only participant in our country, provides the following information regarding the important application areas where graphene can be used: [

- There are some features that make graphene be conducive to biological applications. Wide surface area, chemical purity and easy commissioning feature offers good opportunities for pharmaceutical transmission. [[T]]] - Unique mechanical properties bring to the application of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. [
- A combination of fineness, conductivity and hardness properties means that biomolecules can be used in electron microscopes to help display. [
- The function of graphene in photovoltaic cells, batteries, fuel cells and applications such as hydrogen storage promises to come in renewable energy. For example, Sabanci University works on the use of graphe in fuel battery. The results that will come from the project on the fuel battery will be found in the development of both scientific and technological angles in this area of our country.
] - Quick electronic and optical devices, functional light components and advanced batteries are included among important application areas where Grafe can be used.
]- Some of the new products that Grafen technologies can be used as fast, flexible and robust consumer electronics products and energy efficiency as high aircraft, such as electronic paper and twisted personal communication devices.
- It is also expected to breed new computer paradigms in the long run of graphe and groundbreaking medical applications such as artificial retina.

Sabanci University continues its work on the use of material graphe in fuel batteries of the new century.
