Sorry - bloody auto-correct!

Eminently so.

The original was deformed.

*Companies who have played it straight.*

None straighter than VRS.

Imminently so.

*Companies who have played it straight.*Bit at odds with the naysayers here lol. Just shows you how misinformation is peddled by those that have agendas.Comments to follow haha.https://www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk/graphene/2022/09/meet-steve-hodge-award-winning-cto-of-versarien-and-graphene-industry-champion/

Good to see the live 3d concrete printing demos taking place

Which sounds like it brings us to the main thrust of this article: buyer beware...James Baker: Yes, there is a 'Wild West' or 'gold rush' element – whatever you want to call it – now, as there was before. There are a number of companies who have played it straight and gone through real pain over the past four, five, six years, stabilising processes, delivering to standards and specifications and making real progress in performance enhancement. But the risk we now have is other people jumping on the back of that, saying, "Oh, graphene looks easy. I can do that as well." But they're pretending, like the situation we had before, to be able to produce graphene by the tonne and just add it to applications and expect it to work.Excellent link in the article to our very own Stevie H.

Or knowing the plonker you are Fest. Knowing that you will pick up on anything that gives you the opportunity to ridicule. haha.

"So the VRS ups and downs on the PS are directly connected to PI sells and how many shares MMs hold."

He was a real knower of stuff.

"£1bn MC is peanuts!"

14p will currently buy you approximately 16 KP Dry Roasted peanuts.


"But they’re pretending........ to be able to produce graphene by the tonne" Who could he possibly mean? He will find that our hoppers are full to bursting.

And of course the 'good guys';

Thanks 66,

Short link if you have trouble...

[jointer13] 04/10/2022 11:54

i cannot get that 66...can you post a linkable link

"Some are patient
Some learn patience
Some have patience thrust upon them ."

And some, because of the stress brought on by the interminable patience, ultimately become patients.

Makes one feel queasy ... almost as queasy as Fireball and Mav's attempts at excusing their illiteracy.

Everyone knows jointer's game, even the founding members of the VRS Ramping Society. The man is despicable.

Jointer 13. You need to read your two posts again, look in the mirror and reflect on what you have written. Totally immoral!...

...Unmitigated ramping by people like you on this thread with no acknowledgement whatsoever of any downside is immoral.

...Read Mandatoy's post and reflect on the contribution you have made to encourage people to buy, when the investing level of uncertainty, because the share price has got ahead of itself, would argue otherwise.


I have never read a balanced post from you where the downside is considered as well as the upside.

My uneducated assumption is that Tarmac, being surfacing rather than structural or supportive, should be a lot easier and quicker to get approval.

"Participating in the UK's Digital Roads for the Future programme also affords greater opportunities in UK infrastructure projects."

Digital Roads of the Future

"the deployment of carbon nanomaterials and graphene;"

"Decarbonisation of our roads and pavement materials, with their high carbon emissions, will enable the significant reduction in the carbon footprint of highways projects. This will accelerate the efforts towards achieving net zero and deliver net-zero road projects"

"Advanced materials have revolutionised many sectors and industries and are the major contributor to product innovations. Our vision is to deliver a similar transformation in pavement materials."


Nano-inspired Roads: Role of Nanomaterials in the delivery of future roads

Nanomaterials and nanotechnology will play a vital role in delivering future smart, sustainable and resilient roads and pavement materials. For example, graphene-asphalt and graphene-concrete composites were recently demonstrated in full-scale field trials as viable pavement materials for significant enhancement of the life of road surfaces. Potential areas for applicants to consider: exploring the potential for graphene in the delivery of low carbon pavement materials, including concrete, asphalt, fibres and other reinforcement, coatings, and road markings; the development of application of graphene-waste composites in pavements to maximise the use of wastes and recycled materials; the development and deployment of 3D printing with graphene, including concrete with graphene reinforcement for tailored applications; graphene for condition sensing in roads; durability enhancement of pavements with graphene, e.g. resistant to chlorides or enhancing the wear performance. How can we accurately quantify the environmental credentials, carbon reductions, cost savings and longevity enhancement of those materials and products? How can such additives and new materials be better integrated into the standards? There is also scope to explore impacts on a project or scheme level and refine existing life cycle software and commercial carbon calculators.

Oil-free asphalt for future roads: Sustainable materials for flexible road pavements

Asphalt is mainly composed of bitumen mixed with aggregates of crushed stone. Bitumen is a by-product of crude oil distillation and contributes hugely to emissions and environmental impacts. In a future not reliant on fossil fuels, can we develop asphalts from alternatives to crude oil bitumen that deliver the same or better performance? For example, can asphalts be developed from waste biomass, including cooking oils and sewage? Or can they be developed using biopolymers like lignin or alginate? Can these oil-free asphalts have increased resistance to damage and deterioration? Can the chemistry of these oil-free asphalts be tailored to improve their properties and performance? Can the performance of these oil-free asphalts be improved by adding fibres, and can they self-heal? If commercialised, what will the cost be of these oil-free asphalts? Will they be cheaper than current asphalts? What will their whole life performance be? Can we develop suitable accelerated tests to provide confidence in their longevity and performance? What will the material and resource flow for their production look like? How sustainable will they be? What will their performance in a life cycle analysis look like, and what would their end of life look like? Can we balance the environmental impact, cost, performance and longevity? Can we accelerate their adoption into the standards?

Funny thing is I looked it up before replying to Fest, knowing he would have to make comment. How predictable he and the rest of you anti VRS folk are. One would think one in the same at times. It fits alright, Fest likes to give people a deformed view of VRS.

[ronnyg1] 04/10/2022 08:34

Doesn't really fit your sentence does it?
