Seed · Orlando, Florida · founded 2013 · 3 employees$300Kraised▾
Garmor has developed a method of producing graphene oxide cost-effectively on a large scale. They produce graphene oxide by milling graphite powder with an oxidizing agent using optimized shearing force conditions. This process yields edge-oxidized graphene oxide composed of few layers of graphene. The mild oxidation process preserves the carbon sp2 orbitals which enhances electrical conductivity. They have recently developed a garphene based composite suitable for suitable for high volume electronic and energy storage applications. They received $300,000 from the Institute for Commercialization of Public Research.
