Saint Jean Carbon receives NSERC research grant
Saint Jean Carbon, a publicly traded junior mining exploration company, has announced that it has secured a research grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Counsel of Canada (NSERC).
The grant covers the cost from the research and development work conducted at the University of Waterloo Applied Carbon Nanotechnologies Laboratory, where the company has been working on a number of projects, such as working towards creating superconducting room temperature graphene, using the patented sonicating method to better understand how to produce mass quantities of graphene and working toward building greater efficiencies in lithium battery grade materials.
Saint Jean Carbon enters the graphene market
Saint Jean Carbon is a publicly traded junior mining exploration company with graphite mining claims on five properties located in Canada. It has recently signed an initial Letter of Intent (LOI) with Graphenea to act as the distributor of a wide range of graphene products marketed to customers across the Canadian market.
Saint Jean Carbon's goal in working with Graphenea is to leverage its direct experience and contacts within the carbon and graphite sectors to expand its presence in the emerging graphene marketplace. The company has stated its interest in developing several graphene applications, like new compounds in energy storage and collection, bioelectric sensory devices used in DNA sequencing, nanoporous membranes used in desalination plants and high-strength light-weight carbon fibres in aerospace applications.
