Universal Matter Material Science: Graphene In A Flash
About Universal Matter
Universal Matter is a pioneering company in the field of material science, specializing in the production of high-purity graphene through an innovative 'flash' process. This process involves firing a burst of electricity at carbon materials, which breaks chemical bonds and reorders the carbon into thin layers of turbostratic graphene. The result is a product that is 99% carbon, making it exceptionally pure and strong. Universal Matter serves a diverse range of clients across multiple industries, including concrete, asphalt, lubricants, and medical technology. The company operates in the advanced materials market and aims to become the leading supplier of economical graphene products. Its business model focuses on utilizing a broad range of carbon feedstocks, including biomass and recycled plastics, to produce graphene in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. Revenue is generated through the sale of these high-quality graphene products to various industrial sectors.
