No "buy now" button... ie. still vapourware
- p1necone 8y agoWhat? Why would a company selling industrial raw materials have a "buy now" button on their website?
- whoisjuan 8y agoWhy? Do you also have the need to buy silicon online?
- danielhlockard 8y agoAgreed, this is the kind of thing you work out a contract for.
- skepticManatee 8y agoWell, if he's from a research lab that uses graphene I imagine that option would be useful. As of right now, there are plenty of places to buy semiconductor wafers of which silicon is the most basic and cheapest (and even some forms of graphene like aqueous).
- Animats 8y agoRight. They are not producing graphene sheets in commercial volumes. They made some 20cm samples, big enough that, if produced commercially, they might be useful.
- marcosdumay 8y agoYet, that web site is not eager to sell those. It may be a design issue, but the only place one may find anything (no guarantees) is on the contact us link. If they have samples, I'd expect them to want to distribute those (hell, every time I see a graphene related company I look on how I could buy a sample), but I'm not even sure about what I'll get after contacting them. Is the contact there for investors only? For hiring? If they want people to start using their graphene for something, they may need to add a "get a sample" button somewhere. They may not be vaporware (there are enough labs producing some kind of graphene out there, there are even sites that are more clear on what they produce and yet aren't clear enough on how to get some), but there isn't a line of people wanting to jump over any obstacle to get it either.
- _nalply 8y agoFor what would you yourself buy a graphene sample? How much are you willing to pay for it?
- marcosdumay 8y agoI have this project where I will soon need a very thin organic electricity conductor. I will need a few mm^2 of it, and it doesn't have to be graphene, so I am not willing to pay much, and I am probably out of the target market of any such startup. Yet, I'm always tempted to search for a price.
