National Physical Laboratory and Haydale collaborate on enhanced
functionalisation process
Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, has
commenced a 12 month Innovate UK project, under the Analysis for
Innovators (A4i) scheme, for further investigation of its enhanced
functionalisation processes with the National Physical Laboratory
(NPL).
In 2014, NPL verified that Haydale's global patented
functionalisation process was increasing the quantity of functional
groups present on graphitic material. Since then, Haydale has
significantly optimised its HDPlas(R) plasma technology and has
substantially increased the surface chemistry present. This gives
Haydale the potential to offer a competitive product to graphene
oxide that is environmentally friendly and cost competitive as well
as an enhanced dispersion capability.
Haydale's technology has shown that it can change the surface
characteristics of graphene through its plasma process and vary the
level of functionalisation. Through working with NPL, it will now
gain a further understanding of the surface chemistry of the
graphene after plasma functionalisation. This will allow an
accurate tailoring of plasma functionalisation parameters to vary
the concentration of functional groups, and therefore further
enhance the benefits of the functionalised nanomaterial in
Haydale's key market applications of inks, elastomers, coatings and
composites. This will lead to added reliability for customers,
improved material data and, fundamentally, improved time to
market
Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: "This world-class research
and analysis is imperative for the development and understanding of
our functionalisation process. Customers will directly benefit from
the results as they work with certified materials."
David Banks, Haydale Chairman, said: "This grant offers access
to expert knowledge and world-class analytical facilities to allow
Haydale to continue with its focused product development &
certification. We look forward to working with NPL and further
developing our functionalisation process."
Andrew Pollard, NPL Science Area Leader, said: "Understanding
the fundamental material properties of graphene after industrial
processing steps, is crucial in determining the
performance-enhancement in real-world products. We look forward to
collaborating with Haydale on their graphene functionalisation
process."
