Did Pete get his 'buy order 35p' filled ? I've checked in several times today to find out, can't believe he's left us all in suspense like this 😐

[rovi70] 23/6/2021 19:38

wow two days blue

[andymoore07] 23/6/2021 19:08

Nothing will take us up until confirmed orders

Both pours used our Graphene, VRS supplied UOM it was written in one article. I heard from a horses mouth today a meeting with CEMEX went ahead, can't say anymore than that but lets hope it bears fruit ;-)

Yes, I am somewhat surprised that the 'VRS Textiles' articles published today, did not move the share price up a few pence.

True, the articles do not take us to a confirmed graphene-related order RNS, but the articles do seem to suggest much is now coming on the 'VRS textiles' front.

Alchemy, re your earlier post. Marx. In his thesis on Feurbach.

The textile posts! Wow

[whatsthepoint] 23/6/2021 15:11

Yes I have it on good authority that both pours were with Versarien Graphene !!

[whatsthepoint] 23/6/2021 14:33

Well I was told both pours were Versarien Graphene Go prove it otherwise.

[jointer13] 23/6/2021 14:18

nice finds..cs,fireball

[fireball xl5] 23/6/2021 14:17

With the O's just round the corner, will we get some more news running down the track or circling a velodrome.

[fireball xl5] 23/6/2021 14:13

That's an upper crust version CS, mine was tabloid :)

[fireball xl5] 23/6/2021 14:10

Now one can play tennis, spend a day in the office, hold meetings, travel home going underground, have dinner and drinks with friends and back to the court. Sod all the ablutions and that little matter of sleep. Graphene does it!!

Interesting, Fireball. I was just reading a similar, but slightly longer article

Sportswear focus for Versarien
23rd June 2021

Versarien is poised to bring the many benefits of graphene to sportswear through collaborative partnerships with manufacturing companies and brands.

“Versarien has truly done the legwork on the science of graphene across a wide number of fields, and we have established technologies that are now ripe for commercialisation,” says the company’s sports textiles specialist Bobbie Lawrenson.

Indeed, since its formation in 2011, the company has completed or is currently involved in over 100 separate projects in different fields and in textiles, and has existing collaborations with:

-Coats Group – the world’s largest manufacturer of sewing threads

-Sri Lanka-headquartered MAS Innovation, the apparel manufacturer with 93,000 employees worldwide and customers including Calvin Klein, H&M, Lululemon, Marks & Spencer, Nike, Patagonia, Puma and Ralph Lauren.

Versarien collaborations with other textile companies are currently confidential, but the company is also keen to establish further partnerships.

“The application of graphene inks to textiles is very easy via the screen printing, ink jet or transfer routes, primarily to bring thermal transmittance benefits,” says Lawrenson, “Patterns can be customised for each application or design and the inks have been fully tested both for washability and durability.”

Coating is another application option under development and successful research and testing on the yarn extrusion of graphene materials has also already been carried out at the Warwick Manufacturing Group.

“In terms of key performance improvements, the thermal regulatory properties of graphene make it a game-changer in the sportswear industry and it is becoming widely known as one of the planet’s most conductive materials,” Lawrenson adds. “The ability to cool you down when you are warm and warm you up when you are cold is an area textiles scientist are looking to explore. By exploiting graphene’s conductivity, utilising the laws of thermodynamics, garments can be designed with regulated zonal temperatures. Control over thermal transmittance and regulation helps the body manage its temperature in extreme climates.

“Due to the ways in which our graphene is incorporated, there is added improvement in drying rate, tallowing the body to further regulate itself through evaporative cooling."

The strength inherent to graphene is another property that can improve the functionality of various textiles.

“Despite being one atom thick, graphene is one of the most robust materials on earth,” says Lawrenson. “Integrating graphene at the blending stage of raw material extrusion incorporates the strength and durability inherent to the connected carbon atoms. The aim is that garments will last longer with no fibre failure, increasing the number of wears and washes per garment. For areas such as sports textiles, where materials are pulled, grabbed, washed, torn, and subsequently thrown away, improved durability significantly impacts sustainability.”

Usually only a relatively low quantity of graphene is needed to achieve enhanced properties in textiles.

“Our extensive research and development efforts are constantly examining the quantities and the methods in which graphene can applied to coatings and blends of yarns in f fabric to maximise the property benefits,” Lawrenson concludes.

Has no one owned up to that first pour? Shame on you. Tweeting is going to cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war. Oh' the scoundrel, but he does provide an element of wit.

[jointer13] 23/6/2021 13:59

dont lsiten to the b/s its coming together nicely.

just at the right time

hence the heavy recruitment and new premises

g-scale all being scaled up at the same time...

"in line with what we told inovate and am delighted at the progress to what the team is making in those areas"

keep in mind vrs are doing it on a mass scale

so as well as textiles and concrete being the favourites for commercialisation news we have Versarien Korea Ltd. and gnanomat coming on.

plus....

Dear schmally,

Only the second pour of Concretene used graphene supplied by VRS.

Who supplied graphene for the first pour? Isn't it of concern to you that it doesn't appear to matter who supplies the tiny amount of graphene required?



At Amesbury, an initial pour of 234m2 of Concretene was conducted on site on 6 May, with a further 495m2 to be laid on Tuesday 25 May to complete the concrete floor slab. The graphene used for the pour on 25 May is supplied by Versarien plc.

Concretene (assuming it is successful in its purpose) does not appear to need graphene supplied by VRS.

A couple of small brands get a mention ;~)

CHELTENHAM – British graphene company Versarien says it is poised for growth in the apparel and textile industries, citing the many benefits of its technology.

The Cheltenham-based outfit notes that since its formation in 2011, it has engaged in more than 100 projects across industry.

In our industry, the firm has partnered with the likes of industrial thread manufacturer Coats, Sri Lankan giant MAS, and brands such as Calvin Klein, H&M and Nike.

Now, the company has stressed that it’s keen to venture further within the sector, and is actively seeking new partners.

“The application of graphene inks to textiles is very easy via the screen printing, ink jet or transfer routes, primarily to bring thermal transmittance benefits,” noted Versarien’s sports textiles specialist, Bobbie Lawrenson.

“In terms of key performance improvements, the thermal regulatory properties of graphene make it a game-changer in the sportswear industry and it is becoming widely known as one of the planet’s most conductive materials,” Lawrenson added.

“The ability to cool you down when you are warm and warm you up when you are cold is an area textiles scientist are looking to explore. By exploiting graphene’s conductivity, utilising the laws of thermodynamics, garments can be designed with regulated zonal temperatures.

“The aim is that [with graphene] garments will last longer with no fibre failure, increasing the number of wears and washes per garment. For areas such as sports textiles, where materials are pulled, grabbed, washed, torn, and subsequently thrown away, improved durability significantly impacts sustainability.”

TW, that was patently obvious to most. It would make no sense for BRS to manufacture their own end use concrete product. Their objective is to licence out the use of the GO or IP to concrete/cement manufacturers who have the capability to produce millions of tonnes with VRS additive.

Disingenuous as ever tweeting.
