".. between Haohang Unicom (Beijing) Technology Development Ltd and Versarien..."

Is Haohong Unicom a pre-existing entity - or has it come into being specifically for this venture?

Was it positive?

That's it .... shorters take note, GAN is way overcooked and looking for a damn good thrashing ,

gaps, gaps and more gaps, miss it or miss out 👍

It is quoting revenues of the betting going on that it is providing the platform for (not their revenue) and being run up in a big spike. They only get money for the licensing of the platform check it out 👌

with all that's going of here alchemy...I reckon you may have to bring your forecast forward.

VRS The world lead in real Graphene (Nanene) - VRS
Industrial Revolutions . If we are the key underpin of the fourth so be it. I’ll be really made up. And better off.

As to whether Manchester was the centre of the first - well maybe. I’m sure the Soho works where Boulton and Watt made so many engines was in Brum. But the Bridgewater Canal was 49 times more efficient than the horses and carts that were replaced - and in Manchester. Ironbridge was in Shropshire .
The most industrial part of the whole world in 1776 was Shropshire.

I’m illustrating that I’m excited not just by the financial component of this adventure but the development, the history-in-the-making element.



Anyway I’ve re written my £5 by January 31st effort ."

Most reinforcement bar is steel. I know there are other rebar materials (carbon fibre for example) occasionally employed. Steel is sometimes coated to slow corrosion.

But with new materials now appearing, might we see someone offering a graphene enhanced polymer rod of some sort that would avoid the corrosion risk altogether? The production of steel reinforcement bar is so well established as to be very competitive in price, so new materials might not reach common use but might be justifiable in premium structures (individual large bridges etc).

Surely a great market worldwide for anyone who does come up with an affordable non-corroding reinforcement bar. Needs to be tailored to have a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as concrete of course (steel isn't identical but is close enough in most situations - though there are some locations where the hot/cold variation does defeat steel reinforcement).

I know there are fibres-in-the-mix reinforcements available (Jesmonite, Bostik Fibre, etc; a bit like conventional custom of adding hair to plaster) which at present offer advantages in some circumstances but which don't yet work as well as steel rod. But there is surely scope for these to also be improved using graphene enhanced fibres.

I recall being quite excited by fibre reinforced concrete in the mid-1960s when my architectural career began - but enthusiasm for it waned somewhat and it kinda got limited to cladding panels. Glass fibre being the most common ingredient used. Nylon and polypropylene later.

However - "Research into new fiber-reinforced concretes continues today."

I wonder what happened to our cornerstone investor?

Versarien's deal in China is like reading a thriller. I have seen the cover and bought the book. I have read the preface and now I have just finished reading the first chapter. I wish that I could turn the pages faster, it is just beginning to become very exciting. As usual, the author already knows what is going on and I am being kept in suspense.

Compoundup,

You can buy epoxy coated rebars but they are more expensive. I guess they could use FLG/epoxy resins to enhance the water resistance but I haven't looked at how permeable existing epoxy's are to water.

[rogerthegrouch] 06/11/2019 11:42

We are literally on the cusp of news and were given evidence last week that China is looking pretty damn healthy, and yet people are selling LOL. You can lead a horse to water...

[compoundup] 06/11/2019 11:41

serratia, - agreed. The main difficulty with analysis of performance of concrete is the time element. History shows the unfortunate consequences of early adoption of high-alumina cement, before sufficient passage of time had been allowed to examine the long-term behaviour of the mix.

My observation about the potential benefit of sealing the surface of concrete with an FLG-infused hydrophobic layer was, as you point out, only really valid for new structures. It is more theoretical than practical because it would require years or even decades to prove the concept.

With regard to existing structures, no less proving time would be required but at least in theory corrosion of steel reinforcement could be arrested. IIRC from my civil engineering training, the oxidised layer on the surface of steel does itself provide a measure of resistance to further corrosion.

Perhaps a more expedient way in which to achieve a better life expectancy of reinforced concrete would be to improve the bond by redesigning the surface contact profile between the reinforcement and the concrete. Has anyone reviewed the long-standing high-yield rebar surface profile that the industry has relied on for decades?
