Increasing Your Product Development Success with Graphene Additives
When developing new products and formulations, there are a large number of additive choices to improve a single property you are aiming for: tougheners, plasticizers, flame retardants, the list goes on. One promising additive is graphene and its derivatives, but most organizations don’t know where to begin, so development walls are hit early in the process and therefore projects can be abandoned before success. But your chances of success are drastically increased when you partner with industry experts that know what forms of graphene will meet your needs. In this webinar Mito Materials will discuss how to successfully source, formulate and deploy any graphene material in the world — and do it to your specs and timeline.
