Hi All,
A bit about Graphene standards or lack of here:

Maybe regurgitated from past.

CPI blog on composites 8th jan. This extract mentions 'sensors' and also 'graphene.' Best ellis.

'Surmounting Industry Challenges to Strengthen the Composites Innovation Chain.'

08 January 2019

"Overcoming Industry Challenges:"

"We help partners overcome a variety of industry challenges, which include replacing or integrating metals with composite materials to reduce weight while enhancing strength.

Our support also covers the implementation of flexible, thin-film sensors in composite materials and better control of thermal and electrical properties to increase conductivity or insulation.

Our projects have focused on a number of performance attributes, including the improvement of heat transfer and electrical conduction and strength, while reducing the size of components.

We have worked on graphene-based conductive coatings for metal passivation to increase manufacturing productivity and reduce production cost for lightweight metal containers and electrodes for batteries.

Another area we have concentrated upon is project Necomada, by making improvements to electrical conductivity and low fill factor in adhesives and bonding agents to provide high conductivity, low-cost adhesives for the Internet of Things market.

Finally, we have worked on the ultra-demanding application for advanced mechanical properties for body and vehicle armour, to provide lighter, more flexible materials that are easier to use and more comfortable to wear.

This expertise means we are able to help customers solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions, while reducing the environmental impact and improving the sustainability of products through their entire life cycle.

And, as composites become even more ubiquitous in modern society, our knowledge means we will play a significant role in their future proliferation...."

"Thursday today and Friday tomorrow, then its Monday"

that's what I love about the posters on this board - they're so switched on, they know how to read a calendar and *everything* ;-)

not sure why everyone is dropping such heavy hints about Monday - it's just another day, and probably another day without any good news.

Y'all will know when I'm happy with VRS's progress: I won't be posting on here, I'll be on a cruise or sunning myself on a beach somewhere. I'm sure that, like me, y'all can't wait for that to come to pass...

Zap&Go say current Tesla models will be seen as the old mobile phone bricks from the early 80's once the new Ultra fast charging come's in.

Glad VRS have a piece of the pie and also in Gnanomat in Spain.

GLA. Thursday today and Friday tomorrow, then its Monday.

rovi - boo hoo. I'm happy to reciprocate.

[festario] 17/1/2019 14:32

Big sells are going through yes... but being easily absorbed.Maybe just a change of ownership.

[pshevlin] 17/1/2019 14:15

and yet the sell price goes up?

[pshevlin] 17/1/2019 14:13

Some bigtime sells going through here,

Shavian, since you are on did you get my advice on fitting All weather tyres if you are off to Switzerland/

[squire007] 17/1/2019 13:01

You best hold on till Monday then, or sell the lot ..... :-)

"Doesn't look liked much has happened here past few days."

nothing has happened here this *year*. Which some people might think is a bit strange, given the number of irons allegedly in the fire.

Keeping the economic debate open on China................

Offshoring or Brexit fallout?

Production is moving out of England for British sports car brand Lotus as Chinese owner Geely transfers manufacturing to a new plant in central China capable of putting out 150K vehicles per year.

Geely also owns a suite of automotive businesses from Volvo Cars to Proton, and has stakes in Mercedes-Benz-owner Daimler and truckmaker Volvo Group.

A good reason to establish bases around the world to avoid this sort of disruption.

Roll on the Chinese deals now we have "some" clarification on Brexit issues Mr Government.

Morning all. Been busy in St Lucia past few days. To chilled to scroll through past post. Doesn't look liked much has happened here past few days. That sum things up?

All hail the Araldite Autocrat! May his version of reality be the only one you ever need!*






* Just don't ask any awkward questions about the yawning gulf between fantasy and reality, and why the VRS mgmt team seem totally incapable of turning red-hot business leads into actual cold hard cash.

Ho yuss: the next Menai Bridge constructed entirely from Polygreen. Almost worth visiting the Gogledd for!
