KZSU Interviews Dr. Elena Polyakova, Co-Founder Graphene 3D Lab

In 2016, the graphene market is about $110 Million; Dr. Elena Polyakova expects the graphene market to become a multi-million dollar market over the next 10 years.  In the interview Dr. Polyakova discussed how the company was started when no graphene products were commercially available and how she and her husband, Dr. Daniel Stolyarov were among the first to make graphene filaments commercially available for 3D printed products. Today, Graphene 3D Lab has many customers including NASA, HP, Apple, Ford Motor Company, MIT, Yale and Stanford University. Graphene materials are now used in sensors, as shock absorbers in the construction industry and many other fields.

​Dr. Polyakova said that Graphene 3D Lab could work with science teachers to develop projects that interest Middle and High School students in using graphene filaments in 3D printing. We also discussed how 3D printing with graphene filaments will change manufacturing, including car and drone manufacturing. For more information about graphene filaments for 3D printing, please contact their subsidiary Black Magic 3D. 

Graphene 3D Lab distributes some of its products through its wholly owned subsidiary, Graphene Supermarket.​​Dr. Polyakova had advice for students who are interested in studying nano materials-materials and for people who would like to start their own companies.​
