Aug 3rd 2016 Quantum Materials Developing Nanomaterials for Tracing Fracking Fluids
Quantum Materials today announced that the Company has partnered with a Texas-based E&P technology business and is currently developing specialized nanomaterials for use in oil and gas well production optimization. The project, which is nearing the completion of the initial phase, is targeting new materials which are expected to provide for safer and more efficient recovery of hydrocarbon resources. The challenges of creating nanoparticles that can withstand the harsh downhole environment are leading us to discoveries that we can apply to make our quantum dots for use in displays and lighting more robust. The Company realized a small revenue contribution from this project in fiscal year 2016 that ended June 30.
June 14th 2016 Quantum Materials Corp. Appoints Sri Peruvemba CEO
Display Industry Expert to Drive Technology to Commercialization and NASDAQ Uplisting. Stephen Squires will remain CEO of Quantum Materials Asia and Solterra Renewable Technologies.
