Continuous Microwave Exfoliation Reactor for Graphene Manufacture (Graphene USA 2015)

The requirement for a high volume manufacturing process to exfoliate graphite material has remained a challenge due to its particle size and volumetric expansion. In the presentation, we will discuss our new microwave exfoliation reactor, its concept, continuous operation, large volume capacity, flexible scaling and commercial application potential for graphene.
