Our first spin-out, Atomic Mechanics Ltd,
launched in December 2017, is developing
a range of pressure sensors, actuators
and transparent, flexible touch interface
products based around graphene-polymer
membranes. The business in advanced stages
of negotiation to secure a significant amount
seed funding from large VC funds. The
business is building commercial relationships
with several potential customers and
collaborators in sectors including robotics,
automotive and consumer electronics.
Atomic Mechanics has also secured £200k in
Innovate UK funding for a project to develop
smart tyre monitoring systems.
We continue to develop a new range
of graphene thermoplastic composite
materials with enhanced strength-to-weight
properties; initial testing has shown positive
results and we are now embarking on
process scale-up and the manufacture of
prototypes to showcase these benefits.
Graphene Water Technologies Ltd, a business
founded by Eli Harari winner Sebastian
Leaper, is working with us to develop a
range of graphene-enhanced membranes
and water purification systems based on
a "membrane distillation" process. This
technology has a huge potential to solve
water supply problems for both potable
and industrial applications as it can produce
exceptionally clean water using low-grade
renewable or waste heat to drive the
process, without many of the operational
challenges that hinder existing solutions.
Over the next twelve months we will build
a proof-of-concept demonstrator, followed
by identifying potential sites for, and initial
design of, a pilot plant, alongside supporting
the business in preparing a robust business
plan and establishing itself as an
operational entity.
We welcome discussions with potential
investors or industrial partners from across
the world to explore areas of collaboration.
