Leading National Graphene Research Initiatives          

We pioneered, led, and successfully completed the first National initiative in graphene research
This achievement has propelled us into our current co-leadership of the ongoing

Graphene Research Translation and Industry Collaboration     

  • Our graphene research translation using outstanding properties of graphene materials is developing new graphene products, devices and technologies for addressing concerning global challenges in;
  • Sustainability
  • Environment
  • Energy
  • Agriculture
  • Health
  • We are working together in collaboration with our industry partners to translate these developments into real applicants making transformative impact across broad sectors and our society.

Supporting Australian and Global Graphene Industry     

  • Leveraging our licensed intellectual property on graphene, we facilitated the creation of Sparc Technologies Ltd., which has emerged as one of Australia’s top graphene companies
  • Currently, our largest sponsor and collaborator in graphene research Ceylon Graphene Technologies
  • We are also actively assisting numerous graphene and graphite companies around the world with testing their materials and products

Supporting Australian and Global Graphene Industry     
         

  • Our graphene research was initiated with the support of several. Australian graphite companies who saw a promising business opportunity in producing graphene from graphite.
  • Valence Industries Ltd.
  • First Graphene Ltd.
  • ARCHER Ltd.
  • Talga Ltd.
  • Mineral Commodities Ltd.
  • Over the past 7 years, our most significant collaboration has been with First Graphene Ltd., helping them become one of the leading graphene companies globally

Graphene Characterizations and Standardization

  • We are developing complementary analytical methods for characterization and quality control, their international laboratory comparison (ILC) validation and translation into ISO standards. Our activities include;
  • ISO TC 229 committee for graphene
  • IEC TC 113 committee for graphene
  • VAMAS committee
  • The Graphene Council Expert Team
  • Graphene industry implementation of ISO Standards

International Collaborations

We are actively engaged in many international collaborative activities including:

  • Organizers/Chair Australian-European Graphene workshop
  • European Graphene Flagship
  • Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC)
  • China Graphene Association (Grapchina)
  • ISO/IEC Graphene committees
  • VAMAS
  • National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
  • Graphene Council
  • Leading new journal “Graphene Innovation and Technology”
  • Center for Graphene 2D Materials Khalifa University
  • Graphene research groups world-wide

10 Years of Graphene Research

From our humble beginnings in graphene research with the engagement of two local graphite companies in 2014, our team has achieved significant progress over the years. We have played a pivotal role in advancing graphene research, fostering innovations, and exploring diverse graphene applications through collaborations with numerous graphene companies and associated industries that we will enthusiastically continue in future.
