Our innovation
Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS)
Graphene MesoSponge® (GMS) is produced using a unique manufacturing process, resulting in a sponge-like, hollow three-dimensional structure with walls only one-atom-thick. This structure challenges the conventional notion that carbon materials are inherently rigid, instead offering exceptional mechanical flexibility. Additionally, due to this specialized manufacturing process, GMS contains remarkably few terminal functional groups, granting it outstanding chemical durability. Furthermore, the process allows for precise structural control at the nanoscale, enabling tailored modifications to suit various applications. Combined with the inherent electrical conductivity of conventional carbon materials, these fundamental properties make GMS highly promising for a wide range of applications across different industries.
