Stephan Bernstein, CEO of GreenRoc, details the PFS results for the new graphite processing plant. Watch the video here.
A graphene-reinforced cycle helmet saved a competitive cyclist's life. VRS said they were getting involved in cycling equipment recently. Looks like graphene is already making a positive difference in the cycling world. http://www.iom3.org/materials-world-magazine/news/2018/apr/01/use-your-helmet
Haha perhaps they will find a way to make a particularly attractive glittering "Lucky Orange" variety of graphene-enhanced silk?
The silkworms eat the leaves of the white mulberry bush or tree. The difference here is that the Chinese silk researchers have made an infusion of a mixture of graphene and mashed mulberry leaf powder. This infusion is sprayed onto the mulberry leaves. The caterpillars eat the treated leaves and they ingest the graphene with their favorite food. When they spin silk into their cocoons, the silken threads they form have graphene in the nano-molecular structure of the threads. It is a bio-engineered graphene-silk with enhanced properties. They will investigate this type of silk, to test its properties. maybe it will be used to make ladder-proof silk stockings? Could the stockings be imprinted with shimmering golden waves? Welcome to a tiny snapshot of the potential of the new age of graphene.
Looking back in recent history a little, I find the possible reason why this product launch is so commercially interesting. This Hexotene, or "white graphene" has been on the radar for a year or two but the application to the battery manufacturing industry is perhaps the area with the greatest promise. Here is the article I am referring to. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160411112243.htm
Not much comment here about the RNS, so I thought I would write a little. Hexotene is a 2-d substance made of Boron Nitride. It sounds quite different in its properties, but at first glance it looks like it may have good potential in combination with graphene. Imagine a layer of graphene bonded to a layer of hexotene. The graphene layer conducts heat and electricity very efficiently, while the Hexotene insulates and blocks high energy uv light. Such a combo sounds like it has a place in the rapidly expanding solar power industry, either on this planet or for satellites and space exploration or all of the above. Watch this space, but please pardon the pun.
That's because it is a platform for Narcissism.
There is a new book about graphene on the market which is directed more towards the layman than the materials scientist. I bought the Kindle version online this month and it is aptly named: "Graphene: The superstrong, Superthin, and Superversatile Material that will revolutionise the world." By Les Johnson. I don't know Les personally, but he communicates the subject very well.
Absolutely, and it will be happening sooner rather than later. It is difficult to argue with the virtues of attributes at the molecular level. Graphene is irresistible. Commercial production is coming and this company is working on it.
For those who are interested in seeing the method and results of testing graphene-reinforced concretes, I suggest watching the YouTube video I just found. Just google graphene concrete or graphene in concrete. The one I just watched showed that a graphene concrete cube sample cured for 7 days was stronger than normal concrete cubes cured for 28 days. See it for yourself.
In reply to the question about Concrete testing methods, these are covered under American Standard ASTM C39, in which cubes of concrete are crushed under a measured incremental load until they fail. The concrete in the case in question would contain graphene of specific type, shape, etc.
Someone enquired earlier about the methods of testing the strength of concrete samples. The method is standard, and covered well by the ASTM, American Society for Testing and materials. The standard to refer to is ASTM C39, which covers the method of testing of concrete cubes and cylendars. Basically, test samples are made by pouring the mix (near the place of delivery) into a standard cube shaped mould and allowing it to cure and set for a set period of time before crushing it under a controlled, measured incremental load. Mixes we would be interested in would contain graphene flakes, rods spheres or other forms or shapes for intended inclusion in the samples.
I am grateful for the warm welcome given by some here on this board since my recent introduction. I look forward to reading and perhaps occasionally commenting on some posts, but like I said, I will try and keep it technical. I am a Materials Scientist in Civil Engineering, not from a research background, but more in the application of materials in the Engineering world. This is just one world that graphene will change. What advances will we see in concrete reinforcement, in impermeable membranes, just taking two examples at random. I am keen to see graphene factories starting up!
Materials Scientist, Manchester University graduate and Engineer here, newly invested and very relieved to manage to find this company at such a low SP. I will not comment on the SP further, because in the long timeframe I intend to be invested, I will be better off and some. So, this is the company that will be largely instrumental in bringing about the age of Graphene. This is the company that is building links with the Chinese and Americans to manufacture and develop a material which will make many other materials obsolete. It will accelerate an age of cleaner transport, safer and stronger buildings, cleaner water and inevitably accelerate space exploration. Sounds romantic? Not so, I am a pragmatist and an admirer of the vision behind this company. So that's why I put my money where my mouth is.
"Small intraday rises and falls are possibly day traders and MM's attempting to do what they do....manipulate the market for their own ends. Hold." - Is what I posted on 7 November. Not much to add to this today. The roller coaster is back. Until news...LTH hold.

Mining any metals in the Philippines will continue to be a challenge but Hats off to this company for agreeing to mine responsibly by planting trees etc and complying with other environmental rules. I am a new investor in this stock and I find it hard to believe the low SP. A bargain! From experience, anything legal anything involving government and anything involving large amounts of money is much slower in Phil than in most other places....but this stock is worth every penny IMHO.
