Publication of Scientific Paper from Two Year Research
Project
Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of
graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and
industrial markets, is pleased to announce the publication in this
month's Journal of Applied Polymer Science of the results of a two
year research project on graphene use in advanced textiles and
fashion.
The project (GRATA - GRAfene per il Tessile Avanzato e la moda)
was undertaken by the Materials for Innovation Laboratory
(Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering at
Politecnico di Milano) led by Professor Luigi De Nardo with the
technical support of Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. The GRATA
project used G+(R) graphene nanoplatelets ("GNPs") supplied by
Directa Plus.
The project group from Milan Polytechnic, Italy's largest and
most prestigious scientific university, conducted a deep and
comprehensive investigation of the Company's G+(R) GNPs and their
application in functional textile membranes, commonly used in
apparel and technical markets. The findings confirmed that:
-- G+(R) GNPs comply with ISO/TS 80004-13:2017 "graphene
nanoplatelets" definition following an analysis of their morphology
which showed a typical thickness below 3 nm and a lateral dimension
of 3 um;
-- a very high crystalline quality of the GNPs, crucial for
applications where thermal and electrical conductivity is targeted;
and,
-- G+(R) GNPs confer very high in-plane thermal conductivity to
functional membranes, endorsing their use for thermal comfort.

Professor Luigi De Nardo, Politecnico di Milano, commented,
"With the GRATA project, my research group had the privilege of
following the entire path from design to final product assessment:
a unique opportunity for materials scientists! The GRATA project
also demonstrated the simple, yet effective, scale-up approach
developed by Directa Plus for exploiting graphene properties in
textiles."
Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive of Directa Plus, added: "We are
very pleased that this comprehensive investigation into our
products by the leading technical university in Italy, and also my
alma mater, has confirmed the characteristics that are so
attractive to our textile customers. I would like to thank Prof De
Nardo and the team at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and
Chemical Engineering for their rigorous analysis and hard
work."

About Directa Plus
Our focus is principally on the two sectors in which we have
strong commercial advantage through developed and launched products
and a technological lead: environmental (based on our
Grafysorber(R) product) and textiles (based on our G+ products). In
addition, we will continue to pursue opportunities in elastomers
and composites (including tyres and asphalt), also using our G+
products. All our products are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and
sustainably produced.
