American Graphite Technologies Inc. Announces Additional Testing of Graphene/Bucky Paper From CTI Nanotechnologies LLC
June 10 2013 - 8:33AM
Marketwired
American Graphite Technologies Inc. ("AGIN" or the "Company")
(OTCBB: AGIN) and (BERLIN: A8G) (WKN:A1KBDQ/ISIN:US02640K1079) is
pleased to issue a corporate update in regard to its project with
CTI Nanotechnologies LLC ("CTI").
CTI reports that it has sent samples of its graphene paper to
EMSL Analytical Inc. of Cinnaminson, New Jersey for BET
(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area testing, imaging and Dynamic
Mechanical Analysis (DMA). DMA is useful for studying the
viscoelastic behavior of materials. BET theory aims to explain the
physical adsorption of gas molecules on a solid surface and serves
as a basis for an important analysis technique for the measurement
of the specific surface area of a material.
SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscopy) and TEM (Transmission
Electronic Microscopy) imaging of the graphene/bucky papers will
give insight into the layer structure. The surface area and DMA
testing is an important step in the development of graphene/bucky
papers geared toward specific applications. The surface area is
important for electrodes in batteries, supercapacitors, sensors and
high surface area catalysis. With this information CTI can refine
their process and optimize the product for electronics
applications. The DMA testing also will tell CTI the baseline
tensile strength and modules of the graphene/bucky paper so CTI can
engineer products for the composites and body armor
applications.
CTI has advised that further testing of the graphene paper will
include measuring the thermal transport properties which will allow
them to optimize the graphene/bucky paper for heat sinks and heat
dissipating applications.
AGIN will release the results as they are received.
About the American Graphite Technologies Inc.
and CTI Technologies LLC Agreement
On January 25th, 2013, the Company announced it has entered into
a strategic partnership with a private US company CTI
Nanotechnologies LLC ("CTI") to further the development and
commercialization of Graphene Paper. American Graphite has provided
its initial funding as laid out in the agreement with CTI and will
provide updates as they occur. CTI is working on the development
and commercialization of Graphene Paper. The initial funding
received by CTI from the Company will be used to acquire test and
manufacturing equipment to enhance CTI's existing facility located
in Vermont with the goal of developing a prototype production
machine that makes Graphene Paper in larger and more affordable
sizes than currently available.

About American Graphite Technologies Inc.
American Graphite Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: AGIN) is a mineral
exploration and technology development company that is listed on a
US Stock Exchange where the Company's ticker symbol is AGIN and on
the Berlin Stock Exchange under the following symbol: A8G
(WKN:A1KBDQ/ISIN:US02640K1079). By concentrating on securing
graphite mining opportunities and the commercialization of graphene
specific proprietary technology methods, management is seeking to
bring profitable opportunities and maximize shareholder value.
Graphene has been described as the "miracle material" of the 21st
Century and is believed to be stronger than steel and more
conductive than copper while being flexible, making it plausible as
a replacement over silicon possibly leading to thinner, faster,
cheaper, more flexible devices including power sources. Since
graphene comes from the carbon atom it is abundant and cheap. In
2010 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and
Konstantin Novoselov for groundbreaking experiments regarding
graphene. Advances in alternative energy technologies are driving
demand for strategic metals like graphite that have recently
evolved from industrial demands to include high tech uses as
nations focus on encouraging the development of new domestic
markets for clean and efficient energy alternatives, smart grid
infrastructure and military capabilities.
