Haydale Awarded Innovate UK Grant to Develop Image-Based Characterisation of
2D Materials

 

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global technology solutions company, is pleased to
announce that it has been awarded funding of £258,547 by Innovate UK, the
UK's innovation agency, to develop imaging techniques to characterise 2D
materials, including graphene, to improve the compatibility and material
selection processes. The project started at the end of January and is expected
to run for 42 months.

 

Horizon Europe's new research project ACCORDs (Green deal inspired correlative
imaging-based characterisation for safety profiling of 2D materials) will use
imaging tools to create a visual reference of the structure and morphology of
2D materials aimed at making the selection of the right nanomaterials quicker
and easier for companies using them in production. It will be the first time
that an extensive programme of works will look to standardise the
characterisation of 2D materials with the aim of adoption by standardisation
bodies such as ISO.

 

Haydale is one of ten partners in the consortium and will provide the project
with unfunctionalised and HDPlasÒ functionalised nanomaterial powder,
masterbatch, laminate, ink and coated substrate samples.

 

Current methods for characterising 2D materials for use in application are
time consuming. The programme will have access to graphene in every format
from raw material to finished product to develop new techniques not used
before to image a range of nanomaterials. The project looks to simplify the
process of materials selection to give companies working with nanomaterials a
simple visual reference tool, which will save time and money and enhance
production output for all industries.

 

Led by the University of Ljubljana, the project started on 30(th) January with
a two-day inaugural meeting for the consortium partners held at the university
in Slovenia.

 

Haydale UK Site Director, John-Mark Seymour said: "Haydale will be
instrumental in helping to develop imaging techniques never used before to
characterise 2D materials for their use in a wide range of applications. We
work with nanomaterials daily and have characterised over 250 types of
graphene and so we are delighted to be sharing our expertise and working with
the other consortium partners to deliver this important research project for
our industry."
