The full list includes companies that may have only a partial but nevertheless significant involvement in the graphene field. For the sake of argument these have all been termed graphene companies.
Our whole of supply chain approach to innovation is designed to give our licensees confidence that they can use graphene without incurring a high level of risk. Our approach delivers.
We first develop an understanding of the end use and the value that graphene enhanced materials can offer. We then identify and work with people at every step in the supply chain to ensure that the functionality we deliver and the final product that is manufactured is fit for purpose for the end user.
Research:
Our internal team and partner universities and research institutions have capability and capacity in developing new materials enhanced with graphene. We also ensure that they have industrial processes that are in common use in the manufacturing world.
Compounding:
Our supply chain partners are manufacturing leaders with expertise in compounding of composites and in polymer extrusion.
Manufacturing and application partners:
We work closely with our manufacturing and applications partners to ensure that our solutions meetindustrial and product delivery needs.
End use customers:
Understanding the needs of the end user is critical to the development process. Our supply chain approach is a methodology that enables each part of the supply chain to understand how important their role is in delivering the final product, and how we can realize the target functionalities that are required.

SRI LANKA – MRL remains on track (Latest) MRL Corporation remains on track to begin production of high grade graphite from its Aluketiya project in southern Sri Lanka during the September quarter of 2015. The company also made significant progress ...Created on 02 March 2015
Sri Lankan focused MRL Corporation (ASX:MRF) has signed a certification and licence agreement with a graphene marketing specialist in a warm up to first production at its graphite projects.
Graphene is a stronger-than-steel graphite product expected to represent a premium market within the sector’s growing technological end-segments.
The deal with Imagine Intelligent Materials is expected to facilitate sales contracts of the high-grade products.
MRL will pay Imagine a yet-unspecified commission on sales of its certified graphene and other graphite products which carry Imagine’s certification mark.
MRL’s Aluketiya project is planned to begin production in the September quarter this year, while its nearby Pandeniya project is set to secure a mining licence shortly.
Completion of the Sri Lankan licensing process is expected to put the company on track to have two high-grade graphite projects in production.
MRL’s projects are believed to contain the extremely high-grade graphite required for graphene production.
Sri Lanka is famed for being the only commercial producer of crystalline vein graphite and is among the highest quality of naturally occurring material in the world.
Typical high-grade Sri Lankan graphite achieves a greater recovery rate than most disseminated flake graphite deposits due to its reduced physical processing requirement and much higher starting TGC purity.
MRL will begin a new round of metallurgical test-work shortly to establish the optimal conditions for producing graphene from its sites in the country.
ASX-listed graphite miner Talga Resources is in talks with manufacturers and working to enter the solar energy market with batteries using graphene.
The ABC reports that the company, with has 100 per cent ownership of five graphite assets in Sweden, is working to produce new materials for longer-lasting, more efficient batteries.
"Our rocks are so high grade and so pure that it actually conducts electricity all by itself," managing director Mark Thompson told the ABC.
"For better batteries - ones that charge faster and last longer and are much cheaper to use in things like solar or green energy processing - you need a better performing battery, that is more conductive, lighter and cheaper, graphene achieves that."
Perth-headquartered Talga is producing graphene and nanographite samples at its German pilot plant from its high-grade Swedish deposits, according to the company’s website.
I have a monetize perspective of development. Monetize where ever you can and let the profit grow and accelerate as much as possible. Even a Small Production Model of Graphene would allow profits to drive the Bigger models -
I love the Drastically low CAPEX and OPEX because growth can be Profit Driven.
What do you think?
Kind Regards
DYOR !!!
