Graphene Aluminium

By Perpetuus Advanced Materials

A new class of graphene enhanced aluminium composites, created by integrating plasma functionalised graphene into aluminium alloys. This combination significantly improves strength, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and conductivity, without requiring changes to existing manufacturing processes. These advanced composites are tailored for industries demanding lightweighting and durability, from aerospace and automotive to renewable energy and power infrastructure. By extending component lifespans and improving performance, Graphene Aluminium enables cost savings and sustainability benefits across multiple sectors. Performance Benefits - Higher tensile strength and stiffness - Improved fatigue resistance under stress - Greater thermal stability - Enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity Environmental Impact - Longer component life lowers material demand and waste - Lightweighting reduces energy use in vehicles and aircraft - Corrosion resistance extends service intervals - Supports decarbonisation in transport and infrastructure Commercial Advantage - Drop-in compatibility with Grade 6061 and other alloys - No retooling required for existing production lines - Reduces lifecycle costs through durability gains - Ready for scale-up in high volume industries Applications - Aerospace components and structural panels - EV and automotive blocks, enclosures, and housings - High capacity conductors and busbars - Solar collectors and advanced heat sinks

Combining patented plasma technology with advanced AI to produce industrial scale graphenes and next generation nanomaterials

Surface Functionalised Graphene Nanoplatelets

This clean, solvent free process delivers high quality, surface functionalised graphene nanoplatelets at commercial volumes and competitive costs. At the core of our innovation is a patented DBD plasma treatment process. This technology modifies the surface chemistry of graphene nanoplatelets and other 2D materials, enabling precise functionalisation so they disperse uniformly and bond effectively with host matrices such as rubber, polymers, metals, and composites. Unlike traditional acid or solvent based methods, our plasma process is clean, chemical free, and zero toxic waste. It operates at low temperature and energy input, making it scalable and environmentally responsible. The result is consistent, high quality functionalised graphene, delivered at industrial scale to provide measurable performance gains across every application.

Graphene Masterbatches

Today, Perpetuus operates globally, supplying industrial quantities of graphene masterbatches and nanomaterials to partners in tyres, elastomers, coatings, fertilisers, metals, and lubricants. This approach shortens R&D cycles, ensures batch-to-batch consistency, and enables the rapid design of graphene masterbatches tailored to customer needs. The result is faster innovation, predictable performance, and scalable solutions for industrial partners.
