An asset when 2D fab develops the materials of the future

2D fab is one of the companies that uses MILAB to develop and refine their graphene products. According to Britta Andres, research and development engineer at the company, access to the laboratory environment is an important piece of the puzzle in the innovation work.

"We use MILAB primarily as a resource for product and production development, but also for quality analysis of our graphene products. Through access to advanced laboratory equipment such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we can accurately characterize our materials. In this way, we get support in the development of new applications, improved manufacturing processes and new high-quality materials," she says.

Need for high-resolution instruments

Working with graphene requires great precision. The material consists of nanostructures that are only one or a few atomic layers thick. In order to study and develop graphene, access to high-resolution instruments is therefore required.

"Characterizing nanomaterials such as graphene is not possible without advanced instruments such as SEM, Raman or AFM. Through MILAB, we can quickly and flexibly test our products and processes," says Britta Andres.

She describes the collaboration with Mid Sweden University as both smooth and valuable.

"The booking of the equipment is done via a web-based booking calendar, it is easy and convenient. In addition, we get quick support and advice from Mid Sweden University's researchers if needed.
