("Versarien" or the "Company")
Transport Infrastructure Technology Preview Event
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering
group, will today showcase an innovative large-scale industrial
prototype which aims to improve rail transportation
infrastructure.
The prototype under evaluation uses a 3D-printed polymer
structure constructed using Versarien's high-purity, low-defect,
graphene enhanced polymer technology. The addition of Versarien's
graphene to the structure is designed to increase its tensile
strength and thermal protection, enabling the viable 3D-printing of
large-scale transport infrastructure components.
The preview event being held today in Bristol will be attended
by investors and partners of Versarien. In particular, attendees
will include representatives from other Versarien collaboration
partners, together with Chinese, Japanese and UK government
representatives.
No material new information is expected to be disclosed at the
event.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted
to be able to showcase this large-scale prototype structure
manufactured using our graphene enhanced polymer technology. The
event being hosted by one of our collaboration partners will allow
us to demonstrate how we are making significant progress with our
graphene technology. Graphene holds the potential to radically
transform how future rail infrastructure is designed and
installed.
"We look forward to providing further information on this
project in due course, together with showcasing further examples of
the significant benefits our graphene technology can bring."
