Projektbeschreibung
Steigende Chancen für Graphen in Verbundwerkstoffen
Graphen kann die Leitfähigkeit und Festigkeit von Grundstoffen verbessern und auf diese Weise dazu beitragen, Verbundwerkstoffe von überragender Qualität zu erschaffen. Jedoch stellt sein hoher Preis (2 800 bis 7 600 EUR pro kg) ein Hindernis dar. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, hat das türkische Unternehmen Nanografi Nano Teknoloji ein einfaches, kostengünstiges und umweltfreundliches Verfahren zur Graphenproduktion entwickelt, das Graphen gute Chancen im Verbundwerkstoffsektor verschafft. Dank des EU-finanzierten Projekts GREENGRAPHENE kann das Unternehmen ein Graphennanoplättchenprodukt der gewünschten Qualität zum niedrigstmöglichen Preis (unter 50 EUR pro kg) anbieten. Voraussetzung ist, dass die Produktion in den nächsten zwei Jahren auf 300 Tonnen jährlich hochgefahren wird. Bei steigender Nachfrage dürften die Preise noch weiter sinken.
Ziel
Graphene-based materials gained a lot of interest by researchers worldwide and a wide variety of applications has been developed from them in the last decade. There are more than 45000 patent applications recorded after the inventors of graphene were awarded with Nobel prize in 2010. Graphene’s applications extend from fast charging high capacity batteries to light-weight and high strength aircraft parts. Composite industry is the field that graphene can be quickly adapted because graphene can be produced in powder form similar to many of the other additives used in the composites industry. Composites industry is a €63.2 Billion market and it is expected to reach above €113,85 Billion within the next 5-6 years. Offering performance properties comparable with the current metallic and ceramic materials is the main motivation for the composite producers and costs of the additives in the market constitutes only 1% (>€1 Billion market for additives) of the overall costs.
The major obstacle that prevents the rapid initiation and adaption of graphene into the composites market is the price ranges (2800-7600 €/kg) of the material with desired quality. In order to overcome this obstacle, Nanografi developed a simple, disruptive, cost-effective and environment-friendly graphene production method (patent pending) and offered a good chance for graphene in the composites industry. The developed method offers graphene nanoplatelet product with high quality and offering the lowest price range (<€85/kg graphene) after the production is scaled up to 100 tonnes/year within 5 years. The price offers can go down further as the demand increased. To conclude, in GREENGRAPHENE Project, Nanografi aims to bring its high quality graphene product which we produce by our highly innovative method to the composites market and prepare technical/ economical feasibility reports for increasing the use of graphene in the composites industry.
