Graphene 3D Lab Inc has put a new material made of single-layer Graphene Oxide on sale. Is this the Graphene breakthrough we’ve been waiting for? Not yet, but we’re getting there.
ORG-GO is not the ultimate Graphene-based material that could change the world, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. It should deal with one of the major obstacles facing the commercial introduction of Graphene into the wider world. That is the dispersion of the compound in resins and solvents.
It’s a soluble coating, not the fabric
This new material dissolves easily in organic solvents to produce a final solution with a high concentration. It can then be used to create Graphene-reinforced 3D printing inks, as well as to reinforce polymers and nanocomposites. The solution will undoubtedly be used to coat a vast amount of materials and could help produce everything from stronger products to ‘smart clothing’.
Graphene 3D is well on the way to commercial production of Graphene materials that could change the world we live in. It is, essentially, the strongest and lightest material in the world and it has incredible electrical and thermal properties that mean it can have an impact on almost every area of our lives. It can revolutionize electronics, provide thin and flexible screens, it will be useful in water filtration and also has potential uses in tissue engineering.
It’s lighter than steel and it’s flexible. That alone makes Graphene a prize that the world is fighting for.
Graphene does it all
The European Union put up a $1 billion investment in 2013 and some of the sharpest minds in the world of material science are solely focused on making it commercially viable.
But producing a stable version on a commercial scale is still a conundrum that has tormented scientists since Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov scooped a Nobel Prize for isolating it in 2004.
It has still made its way on to the market and Graphene 3D offers more than 100 products to more than 11,000 customers. They include NASA, Apple, Samsung, Harvard University and Ford Motor Co. ORG-GO will join this line of products on the company’s e-commerce platform: Graphene Supermarket.
At $125 for 100mg, Graphene Oxide really isn’t cheap, but then the cost of production is the main problem preventing widespread adoption of the compound.
