This project seeks to establish whether measurement of specific surface area using nuclear magnetic resonance proton relaxation, might prove a complementary tool to particle size measurement in the manufacture and development of graphene dispersions. Graphene, since the award of the Nobel prize in 2010 has seen significant scientific exploration; however ...

Project summary GIANCE offers innovative solutions to environmental challenges and establishes a holistic, integrated, and industrial-driven platform for the design, development, and scalable fabrication of the next generation of cost-effective, sustainable, lightweight, recyclable graphene and related materials (GRM)-based multifunctional composites, coa...

Graphene nanoplatelets have been used effectively to demonstrate barrier properties in coating applications reducing the level of water penetration enhancing the level of corrosion resistance compared to other barrier pigments. The application of improved barrier properties has importance beyond corrosion in the development of new packaging technologies a...

AGM has already started to commercialise its technology by providing graphene nanoplatelets in formats that can be readily adopted by its customers. AGM has recognised that not all graphene is created equally and the methods of manufacture have a huge influence on the characterisitcs of the materials produced and therefore its ultimate usefulness. Having ...

Each year, it is estimated that corrosion costs the economy £10 billion per annum in the repair, maintenance and replacement of structures in Britain. Organic coatings loaded with hazardous or environmentally unfriendly metals such as zinc and chromates are commonly used to protect such structures and so it is desirable to find improved “green” alternativ...

This project involving Applied Graphene Materials, a rapidly growing start-up producing graphene nanoplatelets and dispersions , and DuPont Teijin Films, a leading polyester film manufacturer with a track record of innovation, will assess the feasibility of using graphene as a performance enhancer in polyester films . Dispersion techniques as well as poly...

The partners will use graphene to develop novel ink formulations that can be used within printed electronic devices. The properties of the graphene layers deposited will be characterised in detail along with the properties of the printed electronic devices manufactured.
