A milestone or a watershed moment in the world of graphene commercial development took place this week: NanoXplore Inc. acquired the many of the assets of XG Sciences! NanoXplore has been a pioneer in commercialising graphene. Many know it for its ambitious activities in breaking down the cost and availability barrier of graphene by massively scaling up a well-engineered production process. This is a prerequisite for market development but is not sufficient.
Another often-neglected prerequisite is overcoming regulatory hurdles before tonnes of the nano material in different continents can be sold! This is an essential yet arduous and expensive (!) undertaking . NanoXplore led the way here too, paving the way for itself and also possibly for other suppliers in the field.
In this 5-min video- a throwback to a presentation by Nima Moghimian at TechBlick's Graphene and CNT event in 2021, you can learn about the steps that NanoXplore took to obtain regulatory approval and the results of their studies.
Some of the results may be surprising to some, but it is worth remembering that graphene is often only a nanomaterial in one dimension. Also- lets not forget that carbon black- an old material with 18M tons of sales per year- is also a nanomaterials as 70% of carbon blacks posses a particle size <100nm
