- Microfluidization was introduced for the first time as efficient and scalable graphite exfoliation method. The graphene yield and production rates reported, surpass greatly previous methods fulfilling industry requirements. Novel high concentration conductive graphene printing inks were formulated with very low sheet resistance and adjustable viscosity for high-throughput printing. Two international patent applications were filled. The industry expressed strong interest; the technology is licenced to Cambridge Graphene and Versarien PLC. Also, the ink formulations have been commercialised by Sigma-Aldrich/Merck. The paper consists a major advancement and point of reference in the field impacting several industries e.g. printed electronics and composites.
