Our objectives

$

Develop a bio-inspired, sustainable manufacturing platform for graphene foam (GF) components that replaces fossil-based NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) materials.

$
Design and produce bio-based GF precursors using renewable vegetable oils, achieving carbon-positive material input with reduced environmental impact.
$
Enable scalable, high-throughput laser-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) of complex 3D structures tailored for shock, sound, and vibration absorption.
$
Demonstrate the performance of GF components in four key industries: automotive, aerospace, maritime, and structural isolation.
$

Advance material durability under extreme conditions, focusing on lightweight design, structural resilience, and functional longevity.

$
Support circular economy principles through full lifecycle assessment (LCA), lifecycle cost analysis (LCC), and sustainable material recovery processes.
$
Reduce microplastic generation and environmental footprint through safe, bio-based alternatives and responsible end-of-life strategies.
