Who we are?
2003 A start-up to fabricate carbon nanotube based fibers
2006 Large scale synthesis of fullerenes, SWCNT and MWCNT
2007 Green technologies: bioplastic nanocomposites
2004+ Pilot-scale arc plasma reactor for CNT production
2004 Growing the start-up: firefighter suit, engineering elastomers
2008 Merging with Hayzen Engineering Co.
2008+ Graphene research at home was started
2010 Scaling-up the graphene production
2008++ Acquisition by Ankara Paper Products Ltd.
2009 Semi-industrial adhesive manufacturing: 20 tons per month2009+ First successful graphene synthesis
Today We’re one of the most active graphene supplier in market
Graphene Business

Comments & Suggestions
Modern industrial revolution: Carbon age
Invention > development > product takes only a few years
Highest performance values to humankind
But…. Incomplete belief of “Material
of the Future“: Industrial problems need hybrid&complex solutions
So, be patient Nanotoxicology of graphene? So, be careful!...
100 years old inspiration from radioactivity
400,000 bottle Radithor sold in five years; Billionaire Eben MacBurney Byers consumed 1500 ones in four years
Cause of Byers’ death: “…was stated to be necrosis of the jaw, abscess of the brain…”
How, why?
The End
Thanks…Questions?...
