About Graphene

The phrase “super material” is overused. But one super material dwarfs them all. It’s about to revolutionize energy storage, aviation, composites, defense, supercapacitors, space, sensors, 3D printing, medicine, solar cells and nanotechnology industries … to name just a few. It’s called ‘graphene’, and it is the genesis of a modern boom in materials science.

Graphene may be the most disruptive material of all time. It is the lightest, strongest, thinnest, best thermal- and electricity-conducting material ever discovered.

Graphene’s Unique Qualities

Strength (150,000,000 psi) – 200x stronger than steel

Flexibility – bendable

Thin – 1 million times thinner than a sheet of paper

Large surface area – a 1 gram sheet would cover a soccer field

Heat conductivity – best material for carrying heat

Electrical conductivity – nearly perfect conductor

Electronic properties – electrons move through graphene at close to the speed of light

Transparency – transmits 97% of light (glass window transmits 80%-90%)

Impermeability – ideal for resistant coatings, enables water or gas filtration and purification

Thought Leaders on Graphene’s Potential

The Wall Street Journal calls the development of graphene “An impending turning point in high tech as important as silicon and integrated circuitry were half a century ago.”

“It’s not often that a new substance comes along that is so useful, it defines an era.”

“Graphene may be the most remarkable substance ever discovered.”

Business Insider says graphene will ​“change the world.”

Goldman Sachs calls graphene a “miracle material.”

Tech futurist George Gilder says graphene “will transform the planet and mint hundreds of new millionaires.”

Avadain’s Competitive Advantage

Avadain is a graphene technology development and licensing company. Our mission is to democratize the type of graphene which industries need as an additive material to confer fantastic strength, excellent thermal conductivity, superior electrical conductivity and durability. To do this, graphene must simultaneously have three physical properties: large lateral surface area (25+ µm²), thin (<5 atomic layers) and defect free (LTDF). LTDF graphene uniquely confers all of graphene’s fantastic properties to make products, stronger, lighter, more conductive and more durable.

While more than 400 companies worldwide claim to make varying grades of graphene, Avadain has the only known technology to manufacture industrial quantities of LTDF graphene. This is the material industry needs to realize graphene’s potential and transform existing products

Comparative Performance of Graphene as an Additive Material Orders of magnitude better than other grades of graphene

Industrial Need

Tens of billions of dollars of high value products can be enhanced with graphene but are delayed because there is no source of LTDF graphene flakes.

Today, companies are forced to work with suboptimal quality materials called “graphene” but are really graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, nanoplatelets, nanoparticles, carbon black, activated carbon, or graphitic material. These materials are either too small/tiny, too thick or laden with too many defects.

Industries are Waiting for LTDF Graphene

Companies frequently ask for LTDF graphene samples to enhance a wide range of products, ranging from light weighting aircraft & EVs to strengthening wind turbine blades & increasing battery and supercapacitor electrode conductivity
