@DenouementIV@thatkidbigmike ie,Traditional GO is prone to clumping, which degrades host material. E-GO uses POSS to create physical spacing and provide reactionary sites, allowing the material to disperse evenly at the nanoscale and act as a highly effective internal reinforcement in a range of materials.
Issue of HG nanoscale dimensions dismissed as "smaller is better". As if smashing a pristine SP2 graphene platelet (say 35µm) into 10000's of pieces (D50=35nm) doesnt impact structural capability or planar conductivity via the extra thousands of impeding edges created. $hgraf
@DenouementIV@thatkidbigmike Just pointing out an entire evolution of graphene materials happening. HG Vs FGR is simplistic. The patented MITO tech allows FGR to transform its G&GO. E-GO is one..a unique hybrid material. GO covalently functionalised with epoxide POSS creating both physical & chemical bonds.
@blankrptori@thatkidbigmike@DenouementIV Even Texas is likely to want to mitigate potential risks. At scale Federal authorities will likely be involved. In any case I don't think any Hydrograph shareholder would want corners cut if their investment could disappear in a flash
@thatkidbigmike@DenouementIV Western is not the concern. Rather, the licensing & safety hurdles that Hydrograph faces to upscale. Currently not even producing at Austin due to "licensing".
@thatkidbigmike@DenouementIV Actually one-step electrochemical process. FGR though doesnt have the constant risk of catastrophic loss due to the extreme explosive risks attached to your dirty feedstock acetylene
@thatkidbigmike No. Hgraf's entire approach is denigrating other graphene companies without putting up detailed studies to backup their claims. I have always said Hydrograph nanoscale graphene may excel in certain areas but to claim best at everything is BS
@Handre ..." Douglas did something no textbook predicted from a supposed left-wing party. He deregulated. Fast." .Hmm.. Kiwi's were in fact following lead of Australian Hawke-Keating Labor who dereg. $AUD Dec1983. At same time introduced Medicare the beloved National health scheme..
@gregm333 Trees reassuring in a sea of bots & fake humans. Closely followed carbon nanotubes & graphene for >decade.Potential market is enormous but the science is complex & path to commercial adoption tortuous. HG needs prove its tech & scaleup before denigrating other graphene players
