Chubais told about a "revolution" in the production of graphene nanotubes in Russia

The Company OCSiAl, formerly a group of "RUSNANO", launched in Novosibirsk industrial installation Graphetron-50, which has no analogues anywhere in the world. According to the head of the Board "RUSNANO" Anatoly Chubais, is "an outstanding event of international scale, a real revolution in the production of nanofibers of various materials."

We are Talking about the launch of the installation for the production of graphene nanotubes with a capacity of 50 tons per year. Chubais claims that no company in the world today is not able to produce a single ton of this innovative material.

Graphene nanotubes when added to the composition of other materials in small amounts can dramatically change their characteristics. For example, with 0.1% additive nanotubes in aluminium increases its strength by half, and additive in concrete one thousandth of a percent of this material makes it stronger in half. And adding in the plastic is 0.01 percent, can make it conductive. Sami graphene tubes stronger than steel 150 times.

Now, the Russian company delivers nanotubes OCSiAl for 75 percent of the leading technology manufacturers in the world. Most of them do not disclose the fact of his cooperation with the Russians. We only know that the clients We are LG and Pirelli.
