Nanocarbon and graphene materials, developed by Rimere, are now available for commercial use in various applications.
Rimere, a pioneering company in the field of nanocarbon materials, has announced that their initial two products - branched nanocarbon spheres and crumpled graphene sheets - have moved into production. This milestone marks the readiness of these materials for commercial implementation across various sectors.
The branched nanocarbon spheres are primarily intended for use in the concrete, polymers, and automotive industries. Their unique morphology makes them suitable for enhancing material properties, such as improving strength, durability, or reducing weight in composites used in automotive parts and polymer matrices.
On the other hand, Rimere's crumpled graphene products are targeted for use in the capacitors, batteries, paints, and coatings industries. The crumpled graphene's unique sheet structure enhances electrical and thermal performance, making it promising for energy storage devices and improved functional coatings or paints with conductive or protective properties.
Mitchell Pratt, Rimere's CEO, expressed his excitement about the growth and application of nanocarbon materials. He noted that customers across industries are eager to integrate high-performance materials into their products. Moreover, Rimere's graphene is produced at attractive pricing, which further increases its appeal.
The production of these nanocarbon materials is made possible through Rimere's proprietary Reformer technology. This sequential hybrid plasma methane pyrolysis process allows Rimere to selectively tune and continuously produce a range of nanocarbon materials in varying grades and scalable quantities.
Rimere has made its portfolio of nanocarbon materials available for testing and evaluation. They have initiated material shipments and testing programs with partners across various sectors, indicating the nanocarbon materials' potential for various market applications and use cases.
According to Pratt, this is an exciting time for the growth and application of nanocarbon materials. He expressed that they can now move forward with testing and expand collaboration with customers across industries. The company's high-quality and high-purity graphene, produced using the Reformer technology, is set to revolutionize numerous industries.

Summarized Applications:
| Product | Current/Potential Applications | |---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Branched Nanocarbon Spheres | Concrete, Polymers, Automotive (enhanced mechanical properties, composites) | | Crumpled Graphene | Capacitors, Batteries, Paints, Coatings (electrical/thermal conductivity, protective/enhanced functional coatings) |
Technology plays a crucial role in the future applications of Rimere's branched nanocarbon spheres and crumpled graphene. The branched spheres, with their ability to improve strength, durability, or reduce weight in automotive parts and polymer matrices, could significantly revolutionize the concrete, polymers, and automotive sectors. On the other hand, science backs the use of crumpled graphene in energy storage devices, as well as improved functional coatings or paints with conductive or protective properties, in industries like capacitors, batteries, paints, and coatings. In addition, Rimere's graphene's attractive pricing adds to its extensive appeal across industries.
