Anh Hoang Dam, Ph.D. – R&D Chemist

I earned my Doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway. Prior to joining CealTech, I worked first as a Material Engineer, with specialty in Polymer Nanocomposite Material, then I worked as a Chemical Engineer, and had as research task the ‘development of gravel pack for oil and […]

Fan Huang, Ph.D. – Battery Specialist

I obtained a bachelor of Science degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from Wuhan University of Technology in China. I then continued studying and researching in the field of polymers, in particular in conductive polymers, whereby I received a Master’s degree at the University of Manchester in UK. Afterwards, I started researching in Electrical Energy Storage […]

CEALTECH FEATURED IN THE GRAPHENE-INFO

CealTech’s marketing and sales manager explains the company’s technology and business Norway-based CealTech was established in 2012 to commercialize a patented 3D graphene production method. The company recently received its first prototype proprietary industrial-scale Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) graphene production reactor. We discussed CealTech’s technology and business with the company’s marketing and sales manager, […]

CealTech announces arrival of prototype graphene production unit

Stavanger, Norway – December 5, 2017; CealTech AS announced today that it received its first prototype graphene production unit (aka, FORZATM) on the 4th of December 2017. The FORZATM is essentially an industrial-scale, Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) reactor. It is designed by CealTech, and is based on Caltech’s patented PE-CVD production technique, which CealTech […]

Graphene: The future of cancer therapy

Cytotoxic agents are currently the main course of treatment for metastatic cancers. Unfortunately, these treatments often result in the destruction of healthy cells, are highly toxic and can lead to chemo-resistance. This support the need to find new effective targeted treatments and seek delivery methods which overcome drug resistance. The exploration of graphene in drug […]

Processability: Graphene Dispersion

The term ’processability’ can be defined as the ease with which polymers, whether neat or compounded, can be handled on the manufacturing lines (i.e., in production operations and equipment), where the end-user manufacturer is primarily concerned with the processing quality of the polymer-based product, and is sensitive to factors that may affect the materials’ behavior […]

How are we planning to improve batteries performance with Graphene?

Graphene-based nanomaterials used as additive in electrodes for Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) hold the promise of great improvements. In this regard, CealTech is developing new graphene-enhanced electrodes with a view to improving thermal and electrochemical performance (capacity, fast-charging ability, life-cycle) and safety (reduced overheating) of LIB. To this end, CealTech is currently focusing on the integration […]

Graphene Functionalization

The example above shows how functionalization prevented agglomeration after mixing, and ensured high compatibility of functionalized graphene in the mixture.   Introduction Functionalization of graphene – along with its subsequent dispersion – is paramount, as it makes graphene (more) adaptable for a lot of application. For example, we cite that both covalent and non-covalent techniques […]

COMPLETED PHASE #1 OF ’GRAPHENE ANTI-CORROSION COATING’ CLIENT PROJECT

CealTech has announced successful completion of phase #1 of a Client project, aimed at developing a Graphene-based coating for anti-corrosion of steel.   The project deliverables included preparing test samples using three different coating solutions, according to the project scope as defined with the Client. While the test samples will undergo extensive proof-testing by the […]
