The spinout will use a chemical processing machine invented at Flinders University to produce nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes.
Flinders University joined forces with graphene supplier First Graphene on Monday to establish a new Australia-based advanced materials venture called 2D Fluidics.
The business will commercialise the Vortex Fluidic Device (VFD) chemical processing machine to manufacture nanomaterials including graphene and carbon nanotubes.
In addition to research applications, the materials have applications in composite plastics and electronic components such as circuits, supercapacitors and batteries. It does not require abrasive or toxic chemicals during the manufacturing process.
The VFD works by exerting…
