Haydale Limited Funds New Professorial Chair in Advance
Manufacture by Printing
Haydale Graphene Industries plc (AIM: HAYD), the Group focused
on enabling technology for the commercialisation of graphene and
other nanomaterials, is pleased to announce that Haydale Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary, has funded a new Professorial Chair
appointment within Swansea University's Welsh Centre for Printing
and Coating ("WCPC") one of the world's leading centres for
research and development of printing and coating processes.
Professor Tim Claypole MBE, founder and Director of WCPC, which
is based within the College of Engineering at the University's Bay
Campus, has been appointed as the Haydale Supported Chair in
Advance Manufacture by Printing. Professor Claypole took up the
role on 1(st) July 2016.
Haydale has existing links with the WCPC and the new
Professorial Chair appointment will provide Haydale with a
dedicated ink and coating service capability, to assist the company
in developing and commercialising their inks together with on-going
research, formulation, and rheology. Additionally, the University's
College of Engineering will appoint a new Professor to provide
additional leadership capability in the area of functional
coatings.
Ray Gibbs, CEO at Haydale Limited, said:
"I am pleased that we are sponsoring this Chair which is a
natural progression of our existing relationship with the WCPC. We
have already achieved good results with our graphene based inks and
derivatives of it such as the patent applied for pressure sensor.
We anticipate that this appointment will assist us in the
commercialisation of our graphene enhanced conductive inks as Tim
has a worldwide reputation in the ink, printing and coating
world."
Professor Tim Claypole, the Haydale Supported Chair in Advance
Manufacture by Printing, said:
"The WCPC is focused on collaboration with industry. This
development strengthens our relationship with Haydale, which has
been built up over many years. This new Chair reinforces our
position as a World leading Centre for Advanced Manufacture by
Printing working with companies who are at the leading edge of
technology. Our relationship with Haydale is helping the WCPC
engage with industry Worldwide, especially in Asia and South
America, as well as in Europe."

About Haydale
Haydale has developed a patented scalable plasma process to
functionalise graphene and other nanomaterials. This enabling
technology can provide Haydale with a rapid and highly
cost-efficient method of supplying tailored solutions to enhance
applications for both raw material suppliers and product
manufacturers.
Functionalisation is carried out through a patented low-pressure
plasma process that treats both mined, organic fine powder and
other synthetically produced nanomaterial powders, producing
high-quality few layered graphenes and graphene nanoplatelets. The
process can functionalise with a range of chemical groups, with the
level of functionalisation tailored to the customer's needs. Good
dispersion improves the properties and performance of the host
material and ensures the final product performs as specified.
The Haydale plasma process does not use wet chemistry, nor does
it damage the material being processed; rather, it can clean up any
impurities inherent in the raw material. The technology is a low
energy user and most importantly environmentally friendly. The
Haydale process is a patented enabling technology, allowing the
Group to work with a raw material producer who seeks to add value
to the base product and tailor the outputs to meet the target
applications of the end user.
Haydale, based in South Wales and housed in a purpose-built
facility for processing and handling nanomaterials, is facilitating
the application of graphenes and other nanomaterials in fields such
as inks, sensors, energy storage, composites, paints and
coatings.

About Swansea University
Swansea University is a world-class, research-led, dual campus
university. The University was established in 1920 and was the
first campus university in the UK. It currently offers around 330
undergraduate courses and 120 postgraduate courses to 16,800
undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The University's 46-acre Singleton Park Campus is located in
beautiful parkland with views across Swansea Bay. The University's
65-acre science and innovation Bay Campus, which opened in
September 2015, is located a few miles away on the eastern approach
to the city. It has the distinction of having direct access to a
beach and its own seafront promenade. Both campuses are close to
the Gower Peninsula, the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.
The results of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014
showed the University has achieved its ambition to be a top 30
research University, soaring up the league table to 26th in the UK,
with the 'biggest leap among research-intensive institutions'
(Times Higher Education, December 2014) in the UK.
The University has ambitious expansion plans as it moves towards
its centenary in 2020, as it continues to extend its global reach
and moves closer to realising its ambition of being a top 200
Global University.
