Liquid-Phase Chemical Exfoliation: Finally Cracking The Graphene Production Process? (Graphene USA 2019)

Production process has been the biggest challenge for graphene to be adopted by the industry. Fortunately, the graphene community answer to this challenge now reaches a turning point. Let's focus on one of the most promising graphene production process, Carbon Waters optimized chemical exfoliation. This environmentally friendly process shows an outstanding quality as well as reproducibility and support the optimal development of coating and additives.

Dr Alban Chesneau earned his PhD in Biochemistry from Harvard Medical School and The National Center for Scientific Research of France (2005). While pursuing a career in life science and pharmaceutical industry for more than 4 years following his study, he obtained a Master degree in Business Management (2009). He acquired an expertise in high-throughput screening and setting-up an automatized platform. He was then closely involved in innovation management for diverse companies (such as Solvay, Pierre Fabre, LVMH) for more than eight years. Since 2017, Alban is the CEO and one of the co-founders of Carbon Waters—a chemical company involved in the development and production of graphene-based additives and coatings.

Carbon Waters is willing to bring the highest added value to its customers and partners using its know-how and expertise on graphene dispersions and application processes.

Carbon Waters has developed a proprietary process which produce non-toxic and already dispersed graphene at different grades (FLG and MLG) with no risk of handling nanopowders.

The manufacturing process is sustainable and proven to be consistent, scalable and fully adaptable according to the targeted final application. Carbon Waters is the unique owner of the intellectual property and know-how behind this process.

Carbon Waters was founded in 2017 with its operations and processes based on a patent technology developer at CNRS and recognized by the scientific community (Nature Chemistry 2017, ILab 2019) and industrial community (JEC World 2018).
