Applied Graphene Materials Share Discussion Threads

It's not simply a case of supplying to them, and there are atm 7 more than the 2 you mention lee... it's also about working alongside manufacturers to develop their product(s) successfully. The above drawings are filed with the US Patent Office and are part of the US patent application.

Of course I'm assuming those drawings will be in all the patent offices where AGM have applied... it's just that the US one was the only one where I could see the drawings were available.

The Group is currently working with major manufacturers through various collaborations, with the aim of developing graphene based formulations that can be readily incorporated into such manufacturers' products using their existing production processes. The Group has a variety of arrangements with nine commercial partners in different application areas, largely structured such that the Group and the partner work together to assess the feasibility of incorporating the Group's graphene nanoplatelets to enhance the properties of the partner's existing products.

It looks like the company have ready made customers to supply with Proctor & Gamble/ Dyson...now with enough cash to swing into production and R&D projects/ patents. What an excellent future for graphene manufacturers/ developers.

Reality beeezzz?

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described,
by way of example only and not in any limitative sense, with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which:



FIG. 1 illustrates a process for production of graphene according to a first embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 2 shows an apparatus suitable for producing graphene according to the method of the present invention;









FIG. 3 shows a Raman spectrum (excitation at 632.8 nm) of graphene powder obtained using the method according to the present invention, prior to purification of the graphene;

FIG. 4 shows a percentage weight thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of graphene powder obtained using the method according to the present invention, prior to purification (black line) and after purification (grey line);
FIG. 5 shows a normalised weight derivative of the TGA data of FIG. 4, for graphene powder prior to purification (black line) and after purification (grey line);

FIG. 6 shows an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) survey scan of graphene powder obtained using the method according to the present invention, prior to purification;
FIG. 7 shows an enlargement of the scan of FIG. 6 in the region of the C 1s peak;

FIG. 8 shows a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a particle from the graphene powder prior to purification;
FIG. 9 shows a magnified SEM image of the particle shown in FIG. 8;

FIG. 10 shows an energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrum of the particle shown in FIG. 8;
FIG. 11 shows a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the purified graphene powder, obtained according to the process of the present invention, deposited on a lacey carbon coated 300 mesh copper grid;

FIG. 12 shows a high-resolution TEM image of a dense region of graphene deposited on a lacey carbon coated 300 mesh copper grid, with the edges parallel to the electron beam;
FIG. 13 a shows an atomic force microscopy (AFM) image of graphene powder deposited from solution onto a freshly cleaved mica surface;
FIGS. 13 b and c show height cross-sections of the image of FIG. 13 a, along the lines indicated by the black arrows in FIG. 13 a;

FIG. 14 shows an SEM image of the surface of a mechanically-damaged graphene film obtained using the process of the present invention;
FIG. 15 shows an EDX spectrum of a region of the graphene film shown in FIG. 14;

FIG. 16 shows an XPS scan of the graphene film shown in FIG. 14, for the C 1s region; and
FIG. 17 illustrates a method for producing graphene according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Blimey looks like I've missed the bus, I'll wait till the dust settles later next year, when reality dawns.

Ah thank you kind sir, as Sir Les Patterson opined when having a drink poured --

"Say when sir Les"

"When it overflows my knuckles mite"

Well it's not regarded as liquid enough so it's mm driven, but 4 electronic auctions are meant to put the brakes on! (Next one 11am)

Good call btw miahkaysor.

An interesting aspect regarding product development is that AGM won't simply flog bulk graphene to buyers... they'll first act as partners in the development process, as they believe manufacturers won't be able to maximise efficiency on their own. So it's very much geared towards industrial partnerships, as well as obviously ramping up production/capacity.

SETSsq MAT.

[jfacwc] 22/11/2013 09:08

can you say what 'onesie' is a sign of, Miss Ann? or is it today's rise..?

[miss ann thrope] 22/11/2013 08:51

Odd that there are no AT trades, this being an MM/SETS one

[mmelody] 22/11/2013 08:29

Grph and a more advanced co too..

[miss ann thrope] 22/11/2013 08:29

Minute vol causes this rise, what if it turned into a million on the buy side?

[encarter] 22/11/2013 08:24

Off to a flying start again.
I'm in to CTFA but any more graphene plays out their?

[miss ann thrope] 22/11/2013 08:23

I see someone wants one share on the L2 buy board, its a sign you know, a bloke in the pub told me to watch fort it last night, its called a " onesie" apparently

[abcd1234] 22/11/2013 07:57

Cheers ;O)

Like I said last night a, I'm using a bar chart for the 1st month... the other 2 are dailies. If I use a line chart, all you see is a close-to-close line, whereas a bar chart shows open, day's range and close... so it gives a better picture of the (intra-day) volatility. You feel me bro'?

[abcd1234] 22/11/2013 06:59

hi n3tley
we seem to have lost the normal charts from the header?...
cheers

[n3tleylucas] 22/11/2013 06:12

It's more fun listening to TMS on the radio Rt, they ease the pain with laughter!

Dunno bud? I guess it's moving for 4 reasons. Not too much free-float, a product/tech that could transform most things we use day-to-day, hardly any pure graphene quoted plays in the world and finally... if a stock moves, traders will follow.

[richtea1701] 22/11/2013 05:54

N3 - gruesome viewing. You think this will fly again today?

[n3tleylucas] 21/11/2013 23:30

Yeah, I'll pop a bar chart in for the 1st month then, with a little explanation of how to read it.

I'm up all night for The Ashes so if I spot any decent news on yesterday's action, I'll pop it in the News links section.

[abcd1234] 21/11/2013 23:14

Thanks N3t,,,,, cheers for adding it.
yes the bar chart works well at the moment, as only a couple of days to go by.

lets see what the news coverage is for tomorrow :)

Such a versatile material, so no surprise on the interest.....
