Launch of New Superparamagnetic Material
Graphene based material to support a range of applications
across electronics, sustainability and biotechnology
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced engineering materials
group, announces the launch of a new hybrid nanomaterial that has
superparamagnetic properties, which can be used across a range of
applications, such as in defence and healthcare.
The development of the material has been led by Versarien's 62%
owned subsidiary, Gnanomat S.L. ("Gnanomat"), whose research has
pioneered the generation of a new family of versatile
nanocomposites based on graphene and other forms of carbon,
combined with metal or metal oxide nanoparticles typically intended
for energy storage applications.
The superparamagnetic material combines graphene with both iron
oxide and manganese oxide nanoparticles that provide the material
with magnetic properties. In return, graphene provides electrical
conductivity to these electrically insulating metal oxides.
Magnetic nanocomposites can readily respond to external magnetic
fields which allow them to be manipulated. Potential applications
of the material include the treatment of wastewater whereby
pollutants are adsorbed onto the graphene surface. The material
also lends itself to biomedical and biotechnology applications, or
defence applications requiring the shielding of electromagnetic
fields. Magnetic manipulation could allow the recovery and
recycling of the graphene, something that could not be done with
normal graphene compounds.

Commenting, Versarien CEO, Neill Ricketts, said : "Our
superparamagnetic material is the next product for Versarien to
launch with its focus on providing efficient and sustainable
solutions. Our research and development teams across the Group have
been working over the last few years to optimise the use of
graphene, and we're pleased to be bringing the next phase of
graphene materials to market."
Steve Hodge, CTO at Versarien, commented : "The potential for
this material is hugely promising. Versarien is branching out into
the next generation of nanomaterials, providing innovation to
industries across the globe. The technical properties the
superparamagnetic material offers are exciting and show that there
is so much more potential for us to find innovative applications
for other nanomaterials."
Roberto Clemente, CEO of Gnanomat, said: "We believe this is the
beginning of the next wave of nanomaterials. Using graphene
combined with metal oxides, there are countless opportunities to
change the way we view a number of industries. This
superparamagnetic material is just the first step in an extensive
line of innovation to come."
