Paragraf was formed from feasibility studies made by two of Humphreys PDRAs, Simon Thomas and Ivor Guiney, employed on his EPSRC grants, and developed on his EPSRC IAA Follow-on Fund. Paragraf is exploiting a new way of making large-area graphene and other 2D materials for applications in electronic devices, energy generation (e.g.solar cells), sensors, etc. Humphreys is the Company Chairman and a Non-Executive Director. The company moved into premises in Somersham, Cambs, in February 2018 and is already employing 16 people (as at February 2019). It has filed 8 patents. It is about to launch its first product.
Paragraf produces a variety of graphene-based products.
Paragraf has been moving rapidly. It obtained seed funding of £2.64 million in October 2017, moved into premises near Cambridge in January 2018, took delivery of equipment in February 2018 and is already employing 8 members of staff. It plans to be manufacturing large-area (8-inch) graphene by the end of March 2018, and then producing prototype device structures. Recently a Joint Development Programme with the solar cell company Verditek was agreed to develop the first Graphene based solar panel.
One patent has been filed to date, in the UK, Internationally and in Taiwan. We believe we have just achieved seed funding for this company from a range of investors (February 2017). We believe we have achieved our goal of low-cost, large-area, high-quality graphene, which no one else has achieved. This could be important for a wide range of devices and would make graphene really useful.

This project brings together a UK SME, Paragraf Ltd., the University of Manchester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, the University of Liverpool Institute of Infection and the University of Newcastle NHS trust to develop and test novel in-vitro diagnostic electronic devices made from graphene. Paragraf has developed a unique and groundbreaking production m...
1 Jun 2021 to 30 Nov 2023
To develop the next generation graphene-OLED display product for smart screens. To investigate the post-processing of graphene, the effect on key graphene properties and the exploitation of post-deposition processing to integrate graphene electrodes into smart displays.
1 Jul 2020 to 30 Jun 2022
The aim of Project High-T Hall is to demonstrate an integrated UK supply chain solution for advanced Hall sensing within PEMD. This would bring together a UK SME (Paragraf Ltd.) as the Hall sensor die producer, TT Electronics (Semelab and AeroStanew) to provide bespoke packaging solutions and Rolls Royce as the end user/customer of the devices. Technical ...
1 Jan 2020 to 31 Dec 2021
This is a disruptive project to research and develop a manufacturing process for graphene electronic devices. Graphene, a single atomic layer of carbon, was discovered in 2004 at the University of Manchester, and its discoverers were subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010. This novel material has amazing properties: optically transparent, more elect...
1 Oct 2019 to 31 Dec 2020
"Discovered by scientists at the University of Manchester in 2004, Graphene is called a wonder material, because it has such phenomenal properties. It is more electrically conductive than copper, stronger than stainless steel, it is flexible and it is almost fully transparent. No other material has such a combination of outstanding properties. Its use in ...
1 Aug 2019 to 31 Oct 2021
Development and testing of high-reliability and high-efficiency motors for aerospace applications is becoming a key dependency for the introduction of the More/All Electric Aircraft. The project will develop real-time imaging of motor flux density characteristics, addressing an industry requirement for a scanner that can be modified to arbitrary stator/ar...
1 Jan 2019 to 30 Sep 2020
This is a disruptive project to replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) by next-generation graphene in a range of electronic and light emitting devices. ITO is the most common transparent conductive material used today because of its high electrical conductivity, high optical transparency and ease of deposition. Because of this remarkable combination of properties...
