For its great innovative achievements in the graphene development, Aikalife Innovative Techlogies,. Ltd. was invited to attend the UK-China 2D material conference hosted by UG2M(University Graphene to Market) and The University of Manchester, and the participants included both scholars and delegates of commercial companies. They had a great meeting and had got many positive results that will push their cooperation in the graphene commercialization.
As a core attendee, the CEO of Aikalife Lijun Chen got warm welcome from the UoM and UMIP as well as the President of UoM Dame Nancy Rothwell, furthermore they were accepted the souvenir from Aikalife as well as the graphene based products made by Aika. Aikalife played a key role in this event, and made great contribution to UK-China cooperation in graphene R&D field.
A significant international conference in UK
This workshop is a significant event in graphene R&D field, and involved many related elites, such as the CEO of Aikalife Lijun Chen, the significant scientific achievements of Professor Sir Andre Geim (2010 Nobel Physics Prize Winner), the CEO of UMI3 Clive Rowland, the CEO of GESL Andy Wilkinson, and the business director of NGI James Baker.
The participants shared their achievement and experience in both technical R&D and commercial application. And many innovations in different areas were introduced.
The participants also visited the UMIP (University of Manchester Intellectual Property), the NGI (National Graphene Institute), and the GESL (Graphene Enable Systems) company.
Sir Andre Geim’s expectation in the graphene sector
The well regarded scientists Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov won the 2010 Nobel Physics Prize for their isolation of graphene, the first 2D material, and their ground breaking experiments with it. And their importantwork had big significance by opening up a whole new field of material study and development.
China can play a key role in the commercialization of graphene. Prof. Andre Geim has made several visits to China, including meeting with Mr. Lijun Chen. He acknowledges the key contribution that can be made by Chinese companies in graphene’s global commercial development.
There are many demands for using anticorrosion paints in global industrial system, and the demand is substantial increase. Graphene, because of its unique 2D structure and barrier properties will be a good choice for improving the performance of anticorrosion paints.
Aikalife’s innovation promotes the graphene sector
The components of electronic devices become more and more complex but smaller, which make big challenge to thermolysis, stability and life cycle.
Graphene’s excellent performance in thermolysis is a good solution, which makes wearable device reality. Aikalife payed great effort, and finally invented combination of graphene and textile fibre, as its core confidential technologies (the AIHF and Hinave technologies). Those innovations applies graphene to people’s daily life, and facilitates the entire Chinese graphene sector.
Aikalife plans to build a research institute in China. This institute would focus on bio-electricity sensor R&D, which can collect physiological data of human bodies.
Manchester witnessed the world’s first industrial revolution, which had big impact to the textile industrial, especially the change from human labors to machine pipeline and the second through the birth of the forerunner of the modern computer. And a new (third) round of revolution is sure to start from Manchester again.
A research result can only benefit human beings when coming out of labs and to be applied in real world. Aikalife will stick to the graphene sector and lead the second revolution in the textile industrial. Aikelife will combine more modern technologies (such as IOT and data mining) with graphene, to build a new life style for the whole world’s people.
