"The application of graphene in the textile industry is more realistic and good choice," said Duan Xiaoping, chairman of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, and vice president of China Textile Industry Association. The development path of the graphene industry is likely to be similar to that of carbon fibre and it is expected to take nearly 10 years from 2010, when Nobel Physics prize was given to professors Andre Geim and Dr. Konstantin Novoselov for their pioneering research on graphene.

"Graphene is a special new material. It is not a material for innovation and development, but for driving a series of materials to jointly develop," said Li Yichun, secretary general of China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance. Although the current enthusiasm is high, companies must do practical things to achieve great development in the graphene industry, Yichun added.
