  • Additive coated particles for low cost high performance materials
    Patent number: 11214658
    Abstract: Existing methods of extrusion and other techniques to compound host and additives material uniformly disperse the additive in the host. This innovation uses ball milling to a coat a host particle with an additive dramatically reducing the additive required to achieve a percolative network in the host.

  • Graphite oxide reinforced fiber in hosts such as concrete or asphalt
    Patent number: 10981791
    Abstract: This can be a method of making a high strength composite reinforcing fiber using flat GO flakes coated on a conventional reinforcing fiber. This maintains some the flexibility of the fiber and aligns the flat graphene flakes along the surface of the fiber; this dramatically increases the strength of the fiber. It also allows bonding between overlapping flakes, in contrast to flakes being uniformly dispersed in a host material that is being reinforced and dramatically increases the strength of the host material.

  • Composite graphene structures
    Patent number: 10815583
    Abstract: Graphene has been used in nanocomposites as constituents/doping in plastics or epoxy providing dramatic enhancement of the mechanical properties but have not progressed past the laboratory level novelty. This invention can provide a graphene based composite structure with a density less that 1.9 g/cm3 for a fiber, yarn, rope or cable and a density less that 1.5 g/cm3 for a sheet both structure have tensile and shear strength greater than either Aluminum or Steel; thus providing a graphene material that is both much lighter and stronger.

  • Graphene entrainment in a host
    Patent number: 10535443
    Abstract: This is generally a method of producing graphene-containing suspensions of flakes of high quality graphene/graphite oxides and method of producing graphene/graphite oxides. Both the exfoliating graphite into flakes and oxidizing the graphite flakes and the preparation and suspension of the flakes can be done with high volume production and at a low cost.

  • Graphite oxide entrainment in cement and asphalt composite
    Patent number: 10351473
    Abstract: A method of producing dispersed of high quality graphene/graphite oxides in a powder matrix to then be reacted to form a composite. Where the powders have similar hydrophobicity and the graphene/graphite oxides has minimal surface oxidation or minimal epoxy group and where the powders are sonically mixed.
