Cientifica, the AIM-quoted investment company focussing on the acquisition of businesses making use of advanced materials, graphene and emerging technologies, announces that Cientifica's partner London Graphene Ltd has signed an option agreement with ISIS Innovation Limited, the technology transfer office for the University of Oxford.

The London Graphene option agreement is to licence a patent filed by Isis Innovation Limited for the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. The patent application relates to a process for producing two-dimensional nanomaterials, including high quality chemical vapour disposition (CVD) graphene on copper foil. This could pave the way for more effective electronic storage devices. The option is exclusive in the field of capacitors and batteries.

Tim Harper, CEO of Cientifica PLC commented:

"Energy is one of the world's largest markets and the need for innovation and improved storage is clear. As we announced in January, Cientifica and London Graphene are working together to identify and address the need for improved energy storage systems in applications such as portable devices, automobiles and renewable energy systems.

"The intellectual property contained in this option to licence forms a cornerstone of our strategy in this market."
