Graphene Composites

Nanotech startup, Graphene Composites, combines graphene with aerogel to form one of the strongest, lightest, and most resilient materials ever. The company has developed its first prototype, ballistic armour, and plans to develop aircraft skins and ultra-strong cables.

GCL is a nano-tech manufacturing startup; we are combining graphene (the world's strongest material and a top heat/electrical conductor) with aerogel (the lightest material and a top insulator/shock absorber) to create nano-composites that we hope couldbe some of the strongest, lightest, most resilient materials ever made.

Working wth the UK government-funded Centre for Process Innovation, we have developed our first prototype nano-composite - a graphene/aerogel ballistic armour - and we are working on further prototypes (of aircraft skins, ultra-strong cables and others). All of these products have large, global markets - and we believe that the superior performance of our GCL nano-composites will attract strong customer demand.

Our business model is to develop these graphene/aerogel prototypes, file patents for their technologies, and then generate revenues from either licensing the technologies or manufacturing the products (whichever is more commercially attractive).

Our seed funding round with Crowdcube attracted tremendous interest (we closedit after three days)and it enabled us to fund the development of our first prototype. The bulk of this current funding round will go towards further product development.
