I'm skeptical on the potential uses of graphene:

question/speculation:

Assuming that there is a breakthrough producing sheets - how are they going to use the sheets to replace say titanium?

It seems to me that multiple sheets embedded in a substrate would be required. Meaning many of the properties that make it desirable will be negated, such as heat transmittance.

More likely I think, sheets on top of silicon for some kind of exotic electrical/transistor application.

Also posted on Dan's graphene thread. Would like to hear some speculation.
