Posted at 23/5/2022 15:54 by cordwainer From the latest newsletter of Frontier IP (FIPP). I thought it is a very good introductory article to investors new or otherwise mildly confused by the industry..GRAPHENE: THE WONDER MATERIAL FULFILLING ITS PROMISE Graphene has been touted as a wonder material with a host of substantial benefits across many industries since it was first synthesised by a pair of University of Manchester academics armed with a pencil and a roll of sticky tape in 2004. It is the strongest material in the world, flexible and light, and has extraordinary electrical, thermal and optical properties. These have seen graphene’s use being explored in applications as varied as coatings, composites, batteries, medicines, photonics and optoelectronics. Some believe that graphene and graphene-related materials could be enabling materials across nearly all fields of technology. It is used in smartphones, sports equipment, cars, clothing and paints. But it has yet to achieve the impact so often promised. A stronger training shoe is unlikely to change the world. As yet no significant applications have been commercialised on the scale anticipated more than 15 years ago. This lack of commercialisation at scale is reflected in there having been no significant scale up in graphene manufacture. Demand is currently estimated at below 1,000 tons a year. We believe, however, that graphene’s true potential is close to being realised, and will have its biggest impact on photonics and optoelectronics. What is graphene? Graphene was originally derived from graphite. On the strictest definition, it is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. It is extremely thin. A single gramme can cover an area the size of a football field. For this reason, graphene and graphene-related materials are referred to as two dimensional materials. The Graphene Council says that the term “graphene̶ There are two broad ways of manufacturing graphene: graphene flakes and chemical vapour deposition (CVD): exfoliation of large pieces of graphite, or growing sheets one layer at a time. Graphene flakes and their uses Flakes are currently used in applications such as composite materials, coatings, including inks and paints, sensors, lasers and in medicines. They are made directly by exfoliating graphite blocks either mechanically or by using chemicals. There are two main mechanical processes: physically shearing a graphite block or immersing a block in a liquid mixture and using sound waves to vibrate flakes off. Chemical processes create a graphene oxide, which is reduced to a graphene flake. Neither process produces consistent results: mechanical processes produce flakes that range in thickness from a single layer to more than 10 layers and varying widths; while chemical methods result in graphene with impurities and a poor crystalline structure. Despite this, graphene flakes still have advantages denied to graphite and other carbon materials, such as strength, stability, and relatively high thermal and electrical conductivity (although lower than pure graphene). Functionalising graphene adds cost but does significantly improve the required properties that are being sought. This is likely to be the route for larger scale applications but for more specialist areas, this can also be achieved by other means too. The benefits of chemical vapour deposition Chemical vapour deposition one layer at a time results in a much purer, higher quality graphene, extending the scope of the material’s application into a host of other technologies and into areas where it has the potential to have a major impact. No graphite is involved in the process. Instead, a carbon-rich gas, such as methane, is mixed with a reactant, which causes graphene to be deposited on a substrate in a single layer to create a graphene sheet, or film. The manufacturing process is high cost and consumes a lot of energy, However, the past decade has seen significant advances in manufacturing at scale. Graphene produced in this way can be used in high-end applications, such as photoelectronics, optoelectronics, flexible displays, photonics, and semiconductors. Although manufacturing costs more, the graphene is still derived from carbon, which is easily available, unlike the rare earth minerals traditionally used in semiconductors. And the purer graphene is being used for higher value applications. These include data and telecommunications infrastructure. Among other things future developments in areas such as 5G and 6G networks and the Internet of Things will need better photonics – technology that uses light to transmit and process information – to happen. In laboratory conditions, graphene has already shown itself to be the ideal material to enable faster transmission while consuming much less energy. This is just one example of the material’s potential for transformative impact. There will be many more to come. |
Posted at 05/1/2022 22:19 by cordwainer er, congratulations on your first 2 posts in 12 years.Share price action of the past 8 months from a peak of 74p down to 22p reflects that while lots of applications are emerging from numerous graphene companies across the world, so far it's all at small scale with none achieving widespread or mainstream usage or demand as far as I've noticed, including those of AGM. Rather than blockbuster consumer products, just higher performance of existing products and materials beginning to creep in at the fringe of specialist and industrial markets. Thus investor interest has been premature. I have a hunch that eventually the higher profile markets for graphene enhancement will be batteries & electrical components, civil engineering, marine and space applications. But AGM's stated aim is to go for the lower hanging fruit first, thus we have mostly coatings and admixtures. AGM still not profitable for several years probably, and there will almost certainly be more share issuance before so. However, the small revenues and number of launched products among its customers are at an all time high and growing. Prospects for continued revenue growth look good and could lend support to the future share price. To read ahead, you can only guess the royalties from future sales volumes of the customers' products. I can't discern an obvious front-runner among the UK(or anywhere else)-listed graphene companies - would be nice to hear from anyone who can. |
Posted at 24/3/2021 10:22 by sphere25 Seen as we have some topical commonality companies of late, copy and paste from the TUNG board yesterday:"Jam, jam, jam, jam, jam....jam....jam... ... There are a few of these companies about that lead investors on for years. It really is astoundingly fruity stuff." The market has been incredibly generous here. It must see something in this: "Growth in total pipeline engagements to 135 (2020: 92) including 10 completed developments (2020: nil) and resulting revenue potential to GBP3.7 million (2020: GBP2.9 million)" It was AGM, HAYD was another and I'm sure there was one more of these graphene "big thing, mega whopping, never mind billions think squillions!" - can't recall it. Suffice to say the likes of TUNG, WAND, AGM, HAYD, NANO, VRS they have all lead investors on for years without delivering. Clearly there are more of these and maybe one of them will announce a financially game changing piece of contractual news (in a galaxy not so far far away), but for the time being, someone pass over a slice of bread. All imo DYOR |
Posted at 27/1/2021 12:10 by mach100 I think the share price will get a boost from PB investors buying to make their holding more economic. An added benefit of small scale distribution from the company. I won't be personally adding and would take say 60p per share any time in the future. |
Posted at 17/12/2020 10:25 by thetrotsky I find the share price movement all a bit perplexing.It's quite clear, by AGM's own admission in its latest interim results, that AGM needs to do at least one more (probably) sizeable fund raising within the next year, markets permitting, and yet the share price continues to creep up despite AGM's business model being nowhere near self-sustaining in the medium-term (if it was, AGM wouldn't need to be considering raising funds in the market, it could borrow from its banks). AGM is the typical graphene play, lots of new contract announcements but, as yet, next to no revenues (and little or no foreward guidance on future contract revenues). Been here before with both Haydale and Versarien. Plenty of contract announcements to boost the share price before a (deeply) discounted new share offering. I may be wrong but I think I'm going to keep my powder dry for now because I think the share price will inevitably retrace once the next fund raising is away and there'll be an opportunity to get in at a (lot) lower price. The real question then becomes do I really want to invest in a company wedded to a de facto licencing model (again). I've been bitten by the licencing model too foten in the past (Hiwave and Torotrak to name but two); technology with great potential but no takers (far cheaper for the scavengers to pick over the carcass). AGM may manufacture the graphene "additive" but is wholly reliant on large manufacturers buying and using the "additive" in their products. Sometimes it pays to simply grasp the nettle, start small and bring your own niche product(s) to market and force the competition to stand up and take notice (this worked quite well for Indigovision up to a point). I'm not saying this is what AGM should do but, as yet, none of the listed UK graphene plays have been able to reach critical mass and the longer it goes on, the less likely they will (eventually investors get exhausted of constant cash calls and promises of jam tomorrow). Just the sad old views of an investor who is still looking for his ASOS (and probably never will because the investment case never makes any sense without a giant leap of blind faith) |
Posted at 03/9/2020 12:05 by 1longshorts I agree volsung. Investors may buy in with more confidence now. We'll see but I think it's a positive. |
Posted at 30/6/2020 16:49 by saltaire111 Revenues are indescribably small. A few grand. How can they be doing such small revenues when they’ve burned through so much investor cash? |
Posted at 18/10/2018 09:37 by walbrock82 Smithy90,Just look at the dire sales numbers. At first glance, this is a terrible company, but management knows how to use words and numbers to capture investors imagination of "progress" and "progression". Report out tomorrow. |
Posted at 29/9/2017 21:30 by superg1 It does seem daft when you read things like this.Over on iii 3 apparently oblivious investors wondering why the dip on the share price ??? Don't they look beyond the end of their nose. Wed 10:29 Hold Progress update ? snodgrove The potential of this product is tremendous however that is not the case for this company. It has been very poor in keeping investors informed on how it is progressing and of course that leads to rumours and the stock slides. The latest information supplied by the Company was a site visit in August, in which they state no material information will be given. Prior to that was a trading update in May. No news is always treated as bad news by shareholders in a high risk investment. Wed 08:53 Re: Huge potential for Graphene - Latest... massmid I do agree. I cannot understand why the share price has halved in recent months. Anybody spotted a reason? h Tue 19:56 Buy Huge potential for Graphene - Latest new... alexbaby5Interactive Investor client I think the recent sell-off is unfounded. There is ongoing research into the usage of graphene and its application in electronics etc. Here are some recent links I have read on the subject. Source is Sciencedaily.com "Graphene and other carbon nanomaterials can replace scarce metals" "New quantum phenomena in graphene superlattices" "Scientists move graphene closer to transistor applications" I believe graphene will have in important role to play in many aspects of our lives, and its potential is being underestimated. I consider this a long-term investment. |
