Totally agreed, that religious nonsense makes me irritated. Drop it and get to the facts and the pure science, which is (thankfully) what this video is about.

Many thanks for the feedback. We have looked at EPA as partners from the beginning and work with them to help graphene companies meet their compliance obligations.

Hi Kim, thanks for your question. AGM was acquired by Universal Matter and integrated, in particular the application development team in the UK. We expect, as in any new industry, to see continued consolidation from the current set of more than 300 commercial graphene producers.

Dear @quantumenergysolutions9128, We cannot discuss specific company pricing in a public forum. There are vast ranges in pricing for graphene based on the specific form of graphene (number of carbon layers, lateral flake size, whether it is functionalized, Graphene Oxide, etc. as well as the volumes purchased). For complete market data we encourage interested parties to check out The Graphene Report: www.thegraphenecouncil.org/page/TGR

It is always complicated to scale up lab scale innovation. They have a track record of bringing products to market, so I think it could work and if it does it will be a major disruptor for the likes of the automotive sector in Norway. Much lower cost of materials to produce than Lithium batteries, but it will attract a lower weight tax than sodium batteries.

Using graphene to reduce embedded CO2 and improve the physical characteristics requires only a very, very small amount of graphene. At those low levels, it is not sufficient to generate a current sufficient to detect changes. That does not mean graphene could not be engineered into a sensing role within a structure but it is unlikely that it is near term possible to make an entire structure capable of sensing.

@pranavvaidya3634 I am not entirely clear about your question but I would say that using Raman to evaluate a graphene sample is the minimum test needed which gives you some basic but incomplete information. Raman y itself is less expensive than other tests but it is also not sufficient on its own to characterize a graphene sample. As in other cases, we encourage you to contact us about what you are trying to achieve and we can give you better guidance. tbarkan@thegraphenecouncil.org

Thank you for your question. Testing costs will vary of course depending if you are testing a graphene sample or if you are testing a product that claims to contain graphene. In the case of testing graphene material directly, we can conduct a complete analysis that complies with the Graphene Classification Framework and results in a Technical Data Sheet that can be used by the company that produced the graphene, or we can conduct more limited testing. The best approach is simply contact us to discuss what type of material you have, what you want to test and what the intended application might be. We can then provide a quote for the testing services. Send me a note: tbarkan@thegraphenecouncil.org.

@@TheGrapheneCouncil Thank you very much for your quick reply, it is greatly appreciated. I will contact you by email very soon. Again, thank you for taking the time to respond. Have a great day.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Dear @crobinso2010, It is stated in the webinar and in the Q&A that Gerdau does not make their own graphene ut instead that they source different forms of graphene from different products according to the end use application and the attributes they are trying to drive. Which suppliers they use may be business confidential so you would have to contact Gerdau directly though they likely might not disclose who they purchase from for confidentiality reasons.

Dear Ryan, All of the materials we tested are defined as graphene under ISO Standards. The 19 forms and types of graphene included graphene nano-platelets, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide and functionalized graphene materials. We do not name the producers or products because our objectives was to conduct an unbiased, head to head, non-optimized test to simply determine if graphene can significantly improve composites. The net results is that even though the tests were not optimized at all for the materials tested, we saw significant improvements which can be made even better when optimizing specific graphene materials with the target application. Anyone that would like to connect with qualified graphene producers and those that provide functionalized graphene for the composites sector can contact The Graphene Council at tbarkan@thegraphenecouncil.org or visit www.thegraphenecouncil.org to request more information. Thank you for your interest.

I appreciate the details and patient diligence in your response.

Hi Ed, graphene is being used in devices and sensors, primarily for diagnostics.

Tell me does it matter that they are moving product already that has your attention more or the partnerships?

@@lifeisgood339 The main draw for me was the batteries. But the other segments are very exciting. Note: In the lubricant, only a fraction of 1% is graphene. And I'm *guessing* that graphene for lubricants & coatings is probably easier to make than battery graphene, so I suspect that there will be more competition there. But all in all, getting $6 million in non-dilutive funding for the battery from Rio Tinto is a nice sign. So, it's all of that. Getting some revenue while the battery is advanced is a very good thing.

Dear "Beaver Buoy", real examples of graphene use in actual products and applications abound, from the graphene companies making batteries and battery materials using graphene (Lyten, Talga, Nanotech Energy, Ceylon Graphene Technology . . .) to the auto companies using graphene enhanced components (Ford Motor, Briggs Automotive, Renault, . . . ) to performance textiles (Kyorene, Safety Gloves, performance sportswear, Versarien, Graphene-X) to use in concrete and cement (Nationwide Engineering) to next generation sensors (Bio, Hall effect, Pressure, etc. from companies like Paragraf and Graphenea). And these are the examples that are not under NDA or are trade secrets and therefore not public.

seems like a scam@@TheGrapheneCouncil

I haven't seen real applications in the industries, these are all concepts@@TheGrapheneCouncil

Dear "Buffalo", thanks for your message. The Graphene Council does connect graphene producers with corporate and industrial customers / partners. Based on our experience and knowledge of graphene, we would never recommend someone just buy some graphene to throw in some graphene and hope that it works. Graphene requires a more exacting approach. Please understand I do not want to diminish anyone's interest for graphene, I just would be doing a disservice if I did not point out that such an approach is almost certain to fail. Graphene requires well tuned formulation to a given application, often requiring much less material than assumed. The other major hurdle is to make sure the graphene is completely and evenly dispersed though your host material. For use in concrete, it is best to have graphene suspended in an aqueous solution first and not try to introduce a dry powder. Lastly, graphene as a dry powder should only be handled in a controlled environment with proper personal protective gear to avoid inhalation. Graphene itself is benign but no one should inhale anything that is a nanomaterial. Hope this is helpful!

Our pleasure, it is part of our mission to share knowledge that helps inform all stakeholders.
