Research from University of Adelaide leads to A$800,000 ($740,000) commercialisation agreement with Valence Industries.
Valence Industries, the owner and operator of the only graphite manufacturing facilities in Australia, has signed a joint research, development and commercialisation agreement with the University of Adelaide.
This A$800,000 ($740,000) research programme is set to last three and a half years and will research the development of new and significant applications for graphene products and sales.
Professor Dusan Losic at the University of Adelaide said: “This is an exciting time for the University of Adelaide and for our team. This strong commitment by Valence Industries to the development of leading graphene research will attract the best minds to South Australia for the creation of new graphene technologies.”
Dusan Losic will continue to lead the research while Valence Industries pursues the commercialisation of any products.
Valence Industries expects to have commercial quantities of graphene available later this year.
