Levidian Nanosystems and Adamant Composites have signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to collaborate on enhancing composite materials with Levidian’s unique graphene.

Over the next three years, the two companies will leverage their specialist understanding of advanced materials to incorporate Levidian’s sustainable graphene in a range of composite materials.

The addition of graphene to composite materials and components will lead to improved process times while augmenting physical properties.

The JDA will focus on the unique properties of graphene allowing innovative processing methods and applications in advanced composites. Together we will develop fabrics, pre-preg, resin, adhesives, and coatings that address the challenges faced today in various industries including automotive, aerospace and space, and wind energy.

“We know that graphene has strong applications in composites,” Levidian CEO John Hartley comments. “Working with the excellent team at Adamant, we will develop materials that can deliver significant performance and efficiency gains.”

“Since our foundation we have been investing in industrialising new technologies and we succeed to deliver to our customers high performing solutions harnessing nanotechnology,” comments Adamant Composites’ Managing Director, Antonios Vavouliotis. “I am very excited to partner with Levidian, joining our expertise to unlock the great potential of graphene for lightweight and sustainable composites material solutions.”
