Versarien Share Discussion Threads

Fantastic and amazing that our governments trade department is our "foot in the door" promoting Versarien's graphene. It's almost like cheating and having an unfair advantage. However all the other suppliers can't complain as they can't validate their product.

Morning Folks,

This is Seattle info:



Can see GEIC but not VRS directly.

Shavian, I'm assuming that as it is infused it is still using the ink as a base liquid, but could be wrong.

Re screen printing: I did 'feel' the cloth but couldn't establish if there was a discenable layer above the base material, so not sure - sorry.

Best wishes - Spike

Re textiles- If the material was cotton or wool then the Graphene would have to be persuaded to penetrate the mass of fibres. If the material was a man made polymer then a polygren approach could be used and the fibres spun.
NB. If they can spin/draw out fibres however they make them with polygren then they'll solve the fishing line / net problem.

Apart from sports clothing (in which top stars might be able to showcase premium products ahead of mass market uptake) I am curious about graphene enhanced textiles in upholstered seating (buses, trains, planes, cars, cinemas & theatres, etc) where improved wear resistance and heat dissipation are valued characteristics


EDIT: Carpets are another textile area where wear resistance is a key factor that can surely be graphene enhanced. Not just the domestic house market but the huge exhibition/conference halls, galleries, museums, retail stores, etc.

Shavian - that's how I too interpreted the textile description

[clint fleecewood] 26/9/2019 09:06

Was the garment that was handed round screen printed?

He was with these guys for their symposium which included a tour of the Boeing facility. Their website features graphene from Manchester on the front page https://www.babcpnw.org/

Spike, I may have this wrong but my understanding is that the Leeds University trial used a very different method of infusing Graphene into the textile yarn rather than printing it onto the surface using Graphinks. The inference was (I believe) that GNPs (Nanene) impregnates the yarn which is then spun into the textile, thus saving the secondary process of screen printing an already-fabricated textile.

Please feel free to to correct me, those who disagree.

Thanks for clarification Spike. Seattle is nice, or it was 30 years ago :)
Willoicc - agreed and will do.

At yesterday's AGM Neill commented during a re-election resolution for Director Ian Gray that he couldn't make the AGM as he was in Seattle, adding 'We are pleased that he is in Seattle'.

Much later I asked him 'if it was a coincidence that Boeing was also in Seattle? Neill kept his lips shut but he couldn't hide a smile, and I said 'thank you for the answer'. He followed that (beaming smile) with how nice a place Seattle is to visit etc...

We (IKN and I) believe Ian was at Boeing Supply Chain Conference.

Shavian, re 3 tonne v 30 tonne for textiles. My understanding is that textiles doesn't use graphene (Nanene), but does use VRS 'Graphinks' which is manufactured by a completely method.

Best wishes - Spike

People, please go to the lloy - Black Beauty: A Recovering Quadruped thread to discuss Brexit and keep this a VRS ONLY zone.

PLEASE

Spoke too soon I fear

[eel tamer] 26/9/2019 07:52

They also have an agreement with the Chinese to develop stuff specifically for the 2022 olympics.

[aquaesulis01] 25/9/2019 21:15

Thanks both :) At least it moved things away from the B word

[hattie1] 25/9/2019 21:01

Aquae
RNS 11/5/2016 re collaboration with Bromley

[20pc] 25/9/2019 20:58

Aquae

Thanks to all for the AGM feedback, it's all getting very close now.

[aquaesulis01] 25/9/2019 20:43

Guess I have been living under a mushroom then, which RNS collab did it come under Hattie?

[hattie1] 25/9/2019 20:33

AquaeS .... some of us met the sledge! and Dom at an Investor day at VRS HQ ... wonder which athletes will be using or wearing our graphene / nanene at the next Olympics

[deeplane] 25/9/2019 20:27

More money savvy than political
