Above: Shrink wrap for commercial and industrial sectors is being evaluated as a possible application for graphene by Nova Graphene and TufWrap Australia. The colour of the graphene-enhanced sheeting is anticipated to be darker than the traditional sheeting pictured here but is expected to stay cooler due to enhanced thermal conductivity
better vibration control than concrete-based ties,” explained Beasant. “We are working on optimising the formulation and scaling up.” Asbury Carbons has received US EPA approval
to introduce its novel Edge-Oxidised Graphene (EOG) into commercial applications. The company
explained that EOG (ie Edge-Functionalised Graphene), is a few-layer, lightly oxidised graphene made through a patented mechano-chemical process, resulting in a cost-efficient, high-perform- ing material at an industrial scale. It provides the processability of graphene oxides with the perfor- mance of graphene and can benefit various applications. The company said it can currently provide high-volume quantities (metric tonnes) of EFG in the form of active powder, dispersions (aqueous and solvent) and polymer masterbatches. A new, 17,000-square-foot facility in South Plainfield, New Jersey is being brought on-line to complement its existing R&D centre in Asbury, New Jersey. “We are open to exploring any collaboration in high-volume applications requiring improved mechanical strength, barrier properties, flame retardancy, thermal/electricity management, flame retardancy and anti-corrosive properties in both masterbatch and slurry forms,” said Daniel Tsai, Vice-President of Business Development. Tom Nosker, Principal Investigator at the AMIPP Advanced Polymer Center at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, was recently awarded a
