ANTI-FOULING AND ANTI MICROBIAL COATINGS CR Nano has formulated a PG solution for enhanced marine and anti-microbial coatings. The PG lowers surface energy so marine vessels have decreased drag and increased fuel efficiency. No metals or biocides so no sloughing or toxicity into the oceans for coral reef and marine life damage. Lowered surface energy means not having to dry dock to clean vessels from barnacles and marine growth. Tremendous decrease of global marine emissions due to superior efficiencies and lack of marine growth. Multi-industry solution to mold, fungus, and other bacterial and viral growth on surfaces in schools, hospitals, factories, distilleries, and other industries. LIGHTWEIGHT FLEXIBLE ARMOR SYSTEMS Soft, lightweight body armor for various threat levels including rifle. Lightweight systems for vehicles and aviation to increase capability, reduce fuel consumption, and protect lives in growing hostile geopolitics. Grid enhancement and protection for renewable and traditional oil / gas assets to keep energy and fuel available to rural and urban energy consumers. Ballistic building materials for government buildings, schools, and hospitals to protect non- combatants, children, and physicians / nurses. Defensive ballistic materials for emergency and first responder personnel and vehicles in crisis environments. 4 CR NANO GRAPHENE GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES UPGRADE TO ENERGY AND ELECTRICAL GRID The current grid cannot take renewable and EV load that is going online this decade. Graphene creates nucleation sites for smaller grain and applies stress relief against brittleness. Thermally and electrically conductive. EMI and EMF shielding when drawn into wire. Increases fatigue cycle, compression strength, and modulus. Graphene tensile strength at 130 GPa, about 200 times stronger than steel. For 6061 just as-cast there is an *8.8% IACS increase and a *3.9% IACS increase in 1350 just as-cast. Further alignment will see greater increase in IACS. CARBON BASED EV BATTERY DESIGNS Current EV battery designs employ rare earth elements and supply chain material challenges, so PG provides pristine graphene for a carbon-based solid state battery system. PG is used for the anode and polyethylene film separator for thermal dissipation. Augmented corrosion resistance, higher surface area and higher conductivity. Increased cycle time and power and energy density for EV. Prevents dendrite growth in battery chemistries. Increased thermal dissipation and electrical conductivity along with gas / liquid impermeability. CR developed an EV.MMS that is a mobile, modular supercharger that runs on single phase. CR has capability for EOL battery recycling with tremendously increasing market. PERFORMANCE TIRES AND ELASTOMERS *1 b tires need to be recycled each year. PG tires for EV and petrol vehicles can last at least 3x longer life with extended abrasion and fatigue properties. The toxic agent 6PPD can be decreased in tire chemistry as PG is UV resistant and retards elastomer decay. Decreasing tire landfill is a necessity for improving social and environmental conditions. 26% increase in peel adhesion, and 50% decrease in gas permeation Abrasion resistance: 28% decrease in volume loss, and increased static and thermal energy dissipation CR has capability for EOL tire recycling. 5 CR PG NANOFLAKES FOR 1 SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS FOR A GLOBAL MARKET PG lubricant in the gearbox to increase thermal resistance, increased fatigue, reduce friction of coefficient, and minimize oil leaks from gaskets and o-rings PG elastomers for thermal and corrosion resistant gaskets and o- rings along with increase in abrasion resistance and gas / liquid impermeability PG UHMWPE ballistic fabric for energy grid protection from EMI and threats s PG for additive manufacturing in concrete, composites, and other material matrices for increased compression and tensile as well as hydrophobic and fatigue resistance PG polyethylene film for leading edge erosion, along with resistance to corrosion, UV, and freeze-thaw cycle. Also reduces challenges from bird migration. PG metal transmission cables provide increased thermal and electrical conductivity as well as EMI shielding. 6 ADVANCED DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FORA BETTERtlUMANITY CRATING A BETTER WORLD CarbonRivers.com
