Graphene Frontiers Partners with Madico to Accelerate Material Production: Deal to ignite and fulfill demand for industrial scale graphene film that supports energy, consumer electronics, membranes/filtration, solar and other applications

Philadelphia, PA | Posted on November 12th, 2014

With Graphene Frontiers' cost-efficient production process - involving a patented etch-free transfer and roll-to-roll CVD method - and Madico's capacity to scale materials to large quantities, this partnership will significantly drive the commercial potential of graphene within the energy sector. Single layer graphene films manufactured at industrial scale have recently become a coveted commodity.

"We know how critical graphene will be to the future of sustainable, renewable energy. This is a mutually beneficial partnership providing us the opportunity to take the lead in bringing commercial capability to market," Graphene Frontiers CEO Mike Patterson said.

For more than 100 years, Madico has been pioneering the development of multilayered engineered films for consumption in energy, safety, and security related markets. They utilize wide-format roll-to-roll processing to embed unique features into film constructs that help to solve segment challenges. Their open innovation model encourages partnering with such technology innovators as Graphene Frontiers, joining forces to speed innovation to market.

"At Madico, we're always tackling problems with fresh, new perspectives," Madico Director of New Business Development Rob Comeau said. "This partnership is a surefire way to stay at the forefront of a game-changing technology we believe in."

Other than an investment by both parties, this deal was funded with the help of a National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant, which is a three-step program instituted by the federal government.

Based in Philadelphia, Pa., Graphene Frontiers recently partnered with the Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, NY to continue fine-tuning its material manufacturing process while forging business relationships with leaders in the consumer electronics industry.
