Ten commercial theses for graphene-enabled cementitious sensing

The Ten Commercial Theses page sets out — for university and academic reviewers — the research-grade hypotheses the programme intends to test through a staged, evidence-gated pathway. Each thesis is anchored to peer-reviewed literature, with the boundary between literature and INFORM-specific outcomes stated plainly, and matched to the work package, milestone and stage gate that will independently validate it.

Stage 1 — Pre-Laboratory Activation TRL 3–4 → rising to 5 Read-only access

Who this overview is for

Intended primarily for universities, academic reviewers and prospective research collaborators who wish to gauge interest in the INFORM programme. Access is granted on application and is read-only. No NDA is required at this level. Approval grants overview-only read access — not workflow, evidence register, or data-room access.

Detailed formulation, dispersion, electrode, DAQ and software design parameters — and the workflow / evidence portal — remain separately gated by the investor data room, which does require NDA and Project Lead approval.

Ten thesis domains

Each with literature anchor · boundary · WP / Q / M handoff
01

Materials

Graphene-family and conductive-carbon cementitious systems and their composition boundaries.

02

Sensing mechanism

Piezoresistive load–response behaviour as the basis for structural sensing.

03

Durability

Long-term stability of electrical response under environmental and load cycling.

04

Manufacturability

Reproducible batching, dispersion and constructability at field-relevant scale.

05

Asset-management value

Decision value for owners — maintenance, risk monitoring and operational insight.

06

Lifecycle / carbon

Lifecycle and embodied-carbon considerations across the material system.

07

Standards alignment

Mapping to relevant testing, acceptance and structural-monitoring standards.

08

Software / digital-twin

DAQ → PULSE → digital-twin analytics chain and data integrity.

09

Commercial pathway

Route from validated capability to procurement-ready commercial model.

10

Sovereign capability

Australian sovereign capability in infrastructure monitoring technology.

What you will see, if approved

Ten commercial theses across materials, sensing mechanism, durability, manufacturability, asset-management value, lifecycle / carbon, standards alignment, software / digital-twin, commercial pathway and sovereign capability — each with literature anchor, boundary, and validation handoff (WP / Q / M).

What you will not see at this level

No formulation, dispersion, electrode, DAQ or software design parameters. No lab data, no protocols, no commercial-in-confidence material. Those remain NDA-gated in the data room.
