Evidence: Well-supported at overview level
Powders/platelets and CVD films increase. Niches that actually ship something: composites, coatings, additives, thermal interface materials, conductive inks, sports-equipment demos. “Graphene” on a label is not a monolayer guarantee — ISO/IEC terminology fights start here.
Research attention partly shifts to van der Waals heterostructures and other 2D crystals. The stencil paper (holey-graphene-molecular-stencil, 2015) sits in this window: graphene as a process tool, not a silicon killer.
