Business Philosophy in a Research Institution – an Interview with Kacper Obszyński, Business Analyst
From a consulting company to a research institution – today we are talking to Kacper Obszyński, a member of the Commercialization and Sales Department, about his work – G-Flake® graphene being developed at our laboratories and about what… Kacper drinks at work. Einstein was once asked about, where his laboratory was. The great scholar smiled, […]
Graphene Commercialization
Today, we will go through the transfer of graphene technology and materials to the industry. In the era of artificial intelligence, space technologies, and advanced multifunctional materials, we should ask ourselves whether investments in carbon-based material technology are truly necessary for us. If so, why? Knowing the properties of graphene materials, one can attempt to […]
Graphene as a Drug Delivery Platform
Recently, we were pondering whether graphene is being added to vaccines and where these ideas originated? Today, in a topic-related post, considering the approaching disease season in Poland, we will examine the possibility of using graphene as a drug delivery platform. For such a platform to be effective, it must be safe for the human […]
Why Are People Scared With Graphene?
In the era of information noise and the flood of fake news, it is essential to separate the wheat from the chaff and point out inaccuracies in publicly available sources. During the COVID pandemic and Russia’s aggression on Ukraine, there have been reports on the Internet frightening people with graphene, claiming that it is added […]
Graphene Barrier Properties
Today, we will consider whether flake graphene can prove helpful in designing and producing modern, lightweight, and durable hydrogen storage tanks. It’s important to remember that hydrogen is the smallest and most mobile known molecule, which means it can effectively penetrate through various types of materials. The permeation through the walls of storage tanks is […]
Enhancing Properties of Graphene Materials
This week’s entry is dedicated to the research project Miniatura, granted by the Narodowe Centrum Nauki and proposed by Adrian Racki. The project’s main goal is to investigate the possibility of removing structural defects of G-Flake® graphene materials, such as oxygen functional groups and basal plane discontinuities, during the thermal reduction of graphene oxide (or […]
Graphene Enhanced Lubricants
We are continuing our introduction to the applications of graphene materials. Today, we will present a new application of graphene in lubricants. Lubricants, such as oils and greases, play a crucial role in various industries, including automotive, transportation, chemical, food, and robotics. During mechanical processes, strong friction between surfaces causes wear and generates heat, which […]
The Hall Effect Determination
In today’s Graphene Weekly post, we are pleased to introduce you to another characterization method of graphene materials, namely the Hall Effect apparatus. When it comes to graphene applications and its design, electrical properties play a crucial role, particularly in flexible electronics, composites, and energy storage materials. Here, in the Flake Graphene Research Group, we […]
Testing of Graphene Batteries
We are continuing our introduction to graphene materials characterization techniques. It’s time to write a few words about testing the electrochemical properties of G-Flake® conducted in Flake Graphene Research Group. Prior to examination, graphene material needs to be synthesized and formed into an electrode, which will undergo further testing. In Flake Graphene Research Group, we […]
Graphene Paste
Today we will present another material available under the brand name G-Flake®. It is called graphene paste, which is a highly concentrated water suspension of graphene oxide flakes. Such paste provides all the advantages of graphene oxide (including the ability to functionalize GO flakes and impart properties correlated with specific applications). It mixes well with […]
