MARKET

GRAPHENE IN FOCUS

The use of graphene and other advanced materials

is leading to numerous innovations in the

textiles market.

NANOTEXTILESHigh performance clothing is a growing market

with use of graphene and other advanced materials

leading to numerous innovations in the textiles

market. Several companies have recently utilized

the properties of graphene to product smart and

functional clothing for application in healthcare,

sportswear, fitness and aerospace sectors.

Apparel

Italian graphene producer Directa Plus plc

has supplied its G+ graphene to several textile

manufacturers to develop commercial products

for increased comfort and thermal performance.

Collaborators include Loro Piana, Colmar, Alfredo

Grassi (military outerwear and work-wear) and India-

based Arvind Limited (denim fabrics).

Oakley, in collaboration with Bioracer, a designer

and manufacturer of customized clothing for cycling,

have launched the G+ Graphene Aero Jersey using

graphene from Directa Plus. Directa Plus' printed G+

planar thermal circuit distributes the heat generated

by the body and dissipates it when needed to

improve the comfort of the wearer and enable riders

to use less energy to regulate their body temperature.

Fabrics treated with G+ are also electrostatic and

bacteriostatic. These properties contribute to

moisture management and have an anti-odour effect,

and, if placed on the outside of the garment, G+ reduces

the friction with air and water to facilitate top sporting

performance.

UK graphene producers Versarien has an agreement

with an Asian textiles and apparel manufacturer for

the incorporation of graphene into textiles via yarns

and fabric finishes. They also have an agreement with

shoemaker Vivobarefoot to collaborate on developing

graphene-enhanced footwear.

Figure 1. Colmar graphene jacket.

Vollebak has produced a jacket made with graphene

that can conduct power, store body heat and repel

bacteria. The reversible jacket outwardly resembles a

regular raincoat. One side it is constructed from a new

fabric made from graphene blended with polyurethane

and nylon, while the other is made from matte black

high-stretch, high-strength nylon. The graphene-hybrid

material can store and conduct the wearer's body heat

and transfer it equally around the body. The jacket retails

for £525.1

Footwear

In June 2018, UK company inov-8 launched the world’s

first sports shoes incorporating graphene, supplied by

The University of Manchester. Graphene has been used

in rubber outsoles for running and fitness shoes that in

testing have outlasted 1,000 miles and are scientifically

proven to be 50% stronger, 50% more elastic and 50%

harder wearing.

US company Two Carbon has partnered with

NanoXplore to develop their Hexo-g technology for

application in footwear and apparel. The proprietary

Hexo-g graphene technology for apparel and footwear

for the outdoors. Hexo-g rubber technology to increase

flexibility and improve abrasion resistance and durability,

while reducing weight and maintaining excellent

adhesion and slip resistance. Hexo-g coatings also

protect fabrics, providing highly hydrophobic materials

with enhanced abrasion resistance.

Figure 2. inov-8 graphene footwear.

To develop pressure shoes and insoles for health

monitoring footwear, graphene is an excellent candidate

for flexible pressure sensing elements to improve wearing

comfort. Graphene has superior properties in terms of

biocompatibility, elasticity and stiffness. Graphene in

insoles can be used to track the pressure distribution

across the foot for sports analysis and podiatry. Smart

shoes allow detailed performance monitoring for

athletes and can provide feedback for people with foot

conditions.2

US-based company BonBouton is developing inkjet-

printed, low-cost graphene temperature sensors. for

physiology monitoring footwear. Existing devices for

monitoring vital signs, either in the hospital or at home,

tend to be bulky and uncomfortable, difficult for non-

experts to use, and expensive. But with the growth in

wirelessly connected devices for the Internet-of-Things,

wearable sensors, capable of monitoring patients

6


remotely, recording information and communicating

it back to healthcare professionals, are becoming

increasingly important.

The technology, licensed from the Stevens Institute of

Technology, has been utilized in a smart shoe insole that

monitors foot temperature to detect early signs of ulcers

in diabetic patients. The company is also embedding

their sensors into ordinary apparel in collaboration with

several textile companies.

graphene sensor technology.

Industrial textiles

Australia company Imagine Intelligent Materials

is developing conductive coatings and sensing

technologies for industrial textiles. The company has a

licensing agreement with Geofabrics Australasia Pty

.Limited to incorporate graphene coating technology

for applications in geotextiles. imgne® X3 is a graphene-

based coating that enables enhanced conductivity in

textiles.

Electronic textiles/wearables

There is increasing demand for wearable electronics

from industries such as:

• Medical and healthcare monitoring and diagnostics.

• Sportswear and fitness monitoring (bands).

• Consumer electronics such as smart watches, smart

glasses and headsets.

• Military GPS trackers, equipment (helmets) and

wearable robots.

• Smart apparel and footwear in fashion and sport.

• Workplace safety and manufacturing.

However, improvements in sensors, flexible & printable

electronics and energy harvesting devices are necessary

for wider implementation. The use of graphene is

enabling the next phase convergence of textiles,

electronics and informatics, opening the way for the

integration of electronic components and sensors

(e.g. heat and humidity) in high strength, flexible and

electrically conductive textiles with energy storage and

harvesting capabilities, biological functions, antimicrobial

properties, and many other new functionalities.

Graphene is suitable for integration with flexible, soft or

glass substrates and can potentially offer the electronic

performance needed for low-power GHz systems.

Graphene sensors that can be integrated directly into

textiles themselves, to eliminate the discomfort of

placing hardware directly in contact with human skin

in applications for physiological monitoring. In addition

to their use as sensors in wearables, flexible graphene

batteries have also been developed to power wearable

devices. Washable, wearable batteries based on graphene

inks can be woven directly into fabrics.3

In recent textiles news, Versarien has signed a letter

of intent with an Asian textile collaboration partner to

launch sportswear containing Versarien's graphene

ink technology. Independent tests involving the use

of graphene in textiles using Versarien's graphene ink

technology has reportedly shown "a number of potential

benefits to a user of garments made from them, including

enhanced thermal and moisture properties"

the commercialisation arm of the University of Cambridge, as well as

several angel investors. The funding will see Paragraf’s first graphene-

based electronics products reach the market. Paragraf has completed

a highly successful seed phase, delivering a manufacturing facility,

graphene layer production and first device prototypes significantly

ahead of plan. Focus now switches to delivering products with strategic

volume device production partners, and commercialisation of the first

device – a super-high sensitivity magnetic field detector that operates

over temperature, field and power ranges that no other device can

currently achieve.

Paragraf and Queen Mary University of London have been awarded

£500,000 by Innovate UK to explore using graphene to replace the rare

metal Indium. A number of companies are donating device structures

to this project: solar cells from Verditek, devices used in mobile phones

Directa Plus PLC has secured a contract to treat and recover crude oil

from producing wells onshore Europe. The supply and services contract

will exploit the company’s Grafysorber technology in the treatment

of several thousand cubic meters of sludges and by-products. It has

been valued at €150,000. Directa Plus will provide a full service to the

customer, an international oil and gas company, via a mobile treatment

unit and it will operate the recovery process.

Researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia’s (UPM) Institute of

Advanced Technology (ITMA) have developed an outdoor water filter

with smart beads — a filter-photosensor platform in a water filtration

system that can detect the lack of or excess of copper in water supply.

Head of UPM Materials Synthesis and Characterisation Laboratory,

Associate Professor Dr Janet Lim Hong Ngee, said “What we did was

fabricate the smart beads — a multi-functional hybrid of cellulose

acetate with cadmium sulphide and graphene nanocomposite — onto

a three-dimensional electrode. The smart beads manifest the abilities

to filter and sense contaminants in the two-in-one photosensor

platform, which is attached to a water filter,” she said, adding that this

was the first time ever a proof-of-concept for such a system had been

reported. "The water filtration system is ready for commercialisation. We

GRAPHENE FILTERSSurwon Technology has completed

a battery of controlled tests designed

to gauge the efficiency of a super-thin

graphene membrane it developed for

deployment in the desalination industry.

The company says the graphene-based

coating “aced” controlled tests at 4

installations on the Chinese mainland

including the Tianjin Seawater and

Tsingtao Befesa desalination plants. It

expects to make a formal announcement

of its commercial plans for the membrane’s

intellectual property in the coming weeks.

“Preliminary results are highly encouraging,”

said Bo Kung, Chief Technology Officer at

Surwon Technology. “We were concerned

that flow rate might have been an issue but

it appears there was no cause for concern.

The results will be made available on the

company’s website in due course and

we think that there will be considerable

interest from desalination enterprises

worldwide,” he added.

Desalination is attracting significant

investment particularly in mainland China

which faces an impending water shortage

in 8 of its northern provinces. Traditional

filters used in desalination plants impede

water flow and limit the amount of

clean water that can be produced. The

graphene-based membrane can remove

the impurities but allows the flow rate

to be near-doubled. They are also more

durable.

to commercialise and licence UPM’s intellectual property/innovation.”

LifeSaver, a UK-based manufacturer of portable and reusable water filtration

systems has an exclusive contract with the National Graphene Institute (NGI)

at The University of Manchester. The 18-month research project focuses on

developing graphene technology that can be used for enhanced water filtration,

with the goal of creating a proprietary and patented, cutting-edge product

capable of eliminating an even wider range of hazardous contaminants than

currently removed by its existing high-performance ultra-filtration process.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin’s Cockrell School of

Engineering have developed a water treatment technology that uses solar-

powered technology that absorbs moisture from the air and returns it as clean,

usable water. The technology relies on hydrogels, gel-polymer hybrid materials

designed to be “super sponges” that can retain large amounts of water. When

left out in the sun, the membrane’s reduced graphene oxide flakes generated

heat into the surrounding water and bacteria nanocellulose.

GRAPHENE PAINTThe Graphene Company is launching the Graphenstone graphene paint which can be used on residential and

commercial properties. Walls painted in Graphenstone will only need to be repainted around once a decade.

Ben Sturges, business development manager at

Graphenstone, said: "The paint is based on graphene

and lime. The graphene makes the paint extremely

strong, and the lime is porous, so it can breathe.

"This means the paint is far less likely to crack or weather,

and will give a long lasting protection and colour to

walls. But, if a bus drives into the wall, it won't bounce

off it." As a result, the paint absorbs carbon dioxide and

is also free of toxins and chemicals. "This paint is natural

and totally sustainable so homeowners can do their bit

for the environment," he added. "It's also anti-bacterial

and anti-fungal too, so it creates a more hygienic

environment whilst reducing allergens."

Sweden-based startup Graphmatech has launched a new graphene-

enhanced composite material. The new product, called Aros Create,

At the end of June the European Council adopted

conclusions on chemicals which offer political guidance

on the development of a sustainable EU chemicals

policy strategy. The conclusions address in particular the

topics of REACH, endocrine disruptors, nanomaterials

and pharmaceuticals.

In its conclusions, the Council underlines the need to

protect human health and the environment through

the sound management of chemicals. It also highlights

the need to improve and mainstream the chemical

risk assessment and management of chemicals across

EU legislation in order to increase the coherence and

effectiveness of EU chemicals-related legislation.

Regarding nanomaterials the Council requests the

Commission to extend ECHA’s mandate to collect and

make available research data on the characterization,

the hazard and potential exposure of nanoforms of

substances that were so far not registered under REACH

because their yearly tonnage is below the threshold of

1 tonne/year and to regularly ask ECHA to evaluate the

performance and the impact of the EU-Observatory on

Nanomaterials which was launched in 2017.
