项目摘要

This Engage grant will initiate a collaboration between Elcora Advanced Materials (Halifax, Nova Scotia) and Dr. Michael Freund (Chemistry, Dalhousie University). Elcora is a producer of high-quality carbon materials - specifically graphite and graphene - and has identified anticorrosion coatings as an important future application for their materials. The global anti-corrosion coating market is expected to reach $26,627 million by 2022 and with the recent emergence of graphene as an attractive replacement to current coatings that contain toxic compounds, Elcora is ideally positioned to develop new, made in Canada, coatings and significantly expand their customer base. However, with limited experience in coatings and limited opportunity to develop new intellectual property to generate products, Elcora is unable to enter the market. Dr. Freund's group has over two decades of experience in the field of material and polymer science including the synthesis and characterization of anticorrosion coatings. His group has developed new thermosetting conjugated polymers that can be combined with nano-platelet graphite and graphene produced by Elcora Advanced Materials to generate new, high-performance coatings with anticorrosion properties. Elcora engineers and researchers in Dr. Freund's group develop formulations and coating methods that will generate a new product line for Elcora Advanced Materials. Characterization of the films in Dr. Freund's group will provide performance metrics required to market the new coating for various industries.

这项参与赠款将启动Elcora Advanced Materials（Halifax，Nova Scotia）与Michael Freund博士（Dalhousie University化学）之间的合作。 Elcora是高质量碳材料的生产商 - 特别是石墨和石墨烯 - 并将抗腐蚀涂层确定为其材料的重要应用。到2022年，全球抗腐蚀涂料市场预计将达到266.27亿美元，并且由于最近出现石墨烯是对当前含有有毒化合物的涂料的有吸引力的替代品，Elcora是在加拿大制造的新的，在加拿大制造的，涂料，涂料，显着扩大了客户群。但是，由于涂料的经验有限，而且开发新知识产权生产产品的机会有限，Elcora无法进入市场。 Freund博士的小组在材料和聚合物科学领域拥有超过二十年的经验，包括抗腐蚀涂层的合成和表征。他的小组开发了新的热固性共轭聚合物，这些聚合物可以与Elcora Advanced Inality生产的Nano-Platelet石墨和石墨烯相结合，以生成具有抗腐蚀特性的新型高性能涂料。 Freund博士小组的Elcora工程师和研究人员开发了配方和涂料方法，该方法将为Elcora高级材料生成新的产品系列。弗洛德博士小组中电影的特征将提供为各种行业推销新涂层所需的绩效指标。
