GRAPHERGIA participated in the 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), held in Oslo, Norway, on 21-15 June 2026, to present our project’s graphene-enabled multifunctional composites.
Representing GRAPHERGIA, Spyros Tsiotos, Materials & Processes Engineer at Adamant Composites, delivered a presentation entitled “Multifunctional CFRPs Enabled by Roll-to-Roll Laser Reduced Graphene Oxide” to an audience of approximately 30-40 participants, including researchers, engineers and industry professionals. The work was co-authored by Spyros Tsiotos, Despoina Batsouli, Chrysanthi Paparouni, Antonios Vavouliotis, from Adamant, together with Spyros Yannopoulos, the GRAPHERGIA Coordinator from Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH).
The presentation highlighted innovative approaches to integrating graphene into carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) through roll-to-roll laser reduction of graphene oxide. The research is particularly relevant to high-performance sectors such as aerospace and aeronautics.
Reflecting on the event participation, Spyros Tsiotos commented:
“It was refreshing to meet and talk with people interested in the out-of-lab utilisation of graphene and its applicability in upscaled scenarios.”
ECCM22: The 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials
The 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), taking place in Oslo, Norway, on 21-25 June 2026, is organised by the Laboratory of Advanced & Sustainable Engineering Materials (ASEMlab) at the Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU). As Europe’s leading conference in composite materials and structures, ECCM is a premier platform for advancing research, fostering innovation, and strengthening collaboration across academia and industry.
The 2026 edition spotlit sustainability, disruptive technologies, and emerging applications in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, maritime, infrastructure, and sports. Both established and frontier topics were featured, with key themes including green and sustainable materials, recycling and repair technologies, advanced modelling and composite mechanics, digital innovations and AI-assisted technologies, process monitoring and quality control, innovative characterisation methods, functional materials, novel sensors, etc.
ECCM22 is renowned for its dynamic networking environment, and this edition made full use of Oslo’s role as a Scandinavian hub for materials research and innovation.
