"We've known about graphene for some time. How many products are currently available using 20-40 nanometer GQDs?" I don't know, but per this release, they want to compete in the same markets as QMC and i find that relevant to QMC.
"How does that impact QMC's customised orders to specs wrt China and Japan?" I never said that it impacts any of QMC's current operations, but it certainly could impact future operations as their will be more competition for the same accounts.
"Some of Nanoco's sh are also hoping for a buyout.....would that alo mean they have the best tech to meet mkt needs?" I never said that DOTZ had the best technology, just that if there was a buyout, it was likely due to there being something salable value. If Nitto or Kisco turned around and bought Nanoco or DOTZ Nano, i think it would be germane to the QMC discussion.
"It's also been known that QMC could produce GQDs, but that doesn't seem to be their focus at this time does it? Any idea why it's not?" As i understood it, the reasoning behind the thick shelled GQDs was that they showed a more stable luminescence, less blinking. For whatever reason, i'm not a display design professional, the display industry seems to not care about the blinking issue so much as the correct color emissions. Remember how tetra-pod QDs were supposed to be the end all be all? Could it be that the display industry wanted nothing to do with dots that emit two colors at the same time? TQDs were QMCs big trick and it seems as though they have made up a lot of ground in creating products the display industry may find useful.
"It was also pointed out via SS that one company would not be able to supply the World's needs for quantum materials. Some companies have been taken over, gone bankrupt, or are still standing.....and that affects QMC's current course of action, How?" Competition effects any company including QMC. QMC, seemingly had to buy the Bayer patents to compete in the cadmium free arena with Nanoco who's major backer seems to rely on their cad-free ip. If Nanoco goes bankrupt due to a deregulation of cadmium, i bet QMC would get a bigger slice of the pie. I agree that many companies will provide QDs, but the more companies there are, the smaller the market share for any one of them and the less value each company can potentially hold.
"In a nascent market, does that information and knowledge really impact QMC's future?" In a nascent market, a company like QMC could use their superior production techniques to cut other companies off at the knees by flooding the market with high quality dots at an untouchable price.
"....if QMC's product didn't measure up, I don't think we'd see Uniglobe Kisco introducing them." I agree, go QTMM.
