Polygrene Product Launch
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce the formal launch of the Company's new graphene enhanced polymer range, Polygrene.
Working in collaboration with industrial partners, Versarien have developed a variety of polymer compounds and masterbatches that feature different types of polymer, along with different weight loadings of Versarien's graphene, all under the Polygrene banner. These can be used in industrial extrusion, moulding and 3D printing processes.
The Polygrene range has been developed for applications requiring increased mechanical performance over standard polymers and allows for improvements in properties such as:
· Tensile modulus and strength
· Flexural modulus and strength
· Compressive modulus and strength
· Impact strength
· Elongation at break
· Hardness
· Flammability
Polygrene can also be developed to improve thermal and electrical conductivity where applications require this. Polygrene can be adapted to suit a variety of modern polymers, along with different grades of graphene, all to suit the needs of a wide variety of industries.
The Polygrene trade mark has been registered by Versarien and the Polygrene range will sit alongside the Company's existing graphene products; Nanene, Hexotene and GraphInks.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "The launch of the Polygrene range of graphene enhanced polymers is an important step for Versarien. The addition of graphene to polymers has been demonstrated to provide a variety of benefits, allowing innovative products to be developed. Polygrene will enable Versarien to be able to offer customers an already compounded material incorporating graphene that they can use in existing production processes.
"We are in discussions with a number of potential customers for Polygrene and look forward to announcing specific applications where Polygrene is being used in due course."

MOU with China Railway
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with China Tiesiju Civil Engineering Group Co Ltd. ("CTCE"), a subsidiary of China Railway Group Limited ("CRG").
CRG is one of the world's largest construction and engineering contractors and is listed on the Shanghai and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges. CTCE is specifically focused on railway, bridge, tunnel and highway infrastructure engineering and has over 23,000 employees. It is active in China and overseas, including in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
The cooperation between the parties is intended to explore the applications for graphene specific to CTCE's needs and the options to jointly establish manufacturing capability in China for graphene enhanced products. It will also include the research and development of applications for graphene within, but not limited to, the following areas:
· Anticorrosive and fireproof coatings for the protection of engineering structures;
· Heat conductive and heating materials for the temperature control of structures;
· Sensors for the mechanical monitoring of engineering structures;
· Special engineering plastics;
· Special engineering rubber; and
· Asphalt for road asphalt mixtures.
Subject to the satisfactory completion of negotiations it is envisaged that CTCE will provide funding for any manufacturing venture in a structure to be agreed.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted to have entered into this MOU with a subsidiary of one of the world's largest construction and engineering contractors.
"This relationship with CTCE is complimentary to those we have already entered into in China and others that we are in discussions with. We have a strategy to develop a number of relationships with industry leading partners in China across the wide variety of sectors where the application of graphene can prove beneficial.
"I look forward to reporting on progress with our ever growing number of collaboration partners and entering into further relationships to aid the commercialisation of Versarien's graphene."

AECOM Collaboration Update
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a supply agreement to provide Versarien's new graphene enhanced polymer range to AECOM for a current infrastructure project.
This supply agreement follows the collaboration the Company entered into with AECOM, a US headquartered and Fortune 500 company, announced on 24 August 2018. This collaboration covered a project that AECOM and Versarien have been undertaking involving the incorporation of Versarien's graphene nano-platelets into large scale polymer structures used in civil infrastructure projects, with a view to increasing their structural strength.
AECOM have confirmed the first Statement of Work ("SOW") from the supply agreement which includes the supply of 50 kg of Versarien's graphene enhanced polymer material to be delivered in early December 2018, with a further SOW expected to cover the delivery of 200 kg in early January 2019. These quantities will be used for final testing of the structures and upon successful completion of final tests, the companies expect to make further announcements in Q1 2019.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted that our collaboration with AECOM has progressed as we had anticipated.
"This application has significant potential for Versarien, as the volumes of graphene that are required in these types of structure are significantly larger than for many other applications given the scale of the structures being produced.
"We look forward to continuing to work with AECOM on the final phases of testing and look forward to making further announcements on this project in the New Year."

Shareprice marked down as some were expecting bad results and definitely not expecting an announcement of the commercialisation of graphene in construction, just a game let's hope they played their hand right

You need a hug Dil. :-))

I know what Dil needs...and ain't a hug -):

lol I don't want to know.
