FOREWORD
DR. REZAL KHAIRI AHMADChief Executive OfficerNanoMalaysia Berhad(Malaysia)
DR. ANTONIO CORREIAPresident
Phantoms Foundation (Spain)
“There is a race to unlock the full potential of graphene and nanotechnology and
while Malaysia already has a head start, we must continue with our momentum.
Malaysia must strive to become a high-end technology producing nation that
could cater for the global market demands such as nanosensors, nanosolar
panels and lightweight graphene-based energy storage.
In the disruptive era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, we must embrace the
convergence of cyber and physical solutions and interconnection especially the
Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) and the digital economy. Technology, particularly
nanotechnology will be the primary driver of the country’s growth agenda.”
MINISTER´S STATEMENT
YB ISNARAISSAH MUNIRAH MAJILISDeputy Minister of Energy, Science, Technology,
Environment & Climate Change
(Malaysia)
"The manufacturing industry is increasingly shifting towards producing more
technologically-complex products. It is no longer enough for the manufacturing
industry to make better things - creating innovative products and services that will
meet customer needs - but also to make things better - facilitating the design
engineering, service planning and execution as well as improving the
management and production processes.
In other words, industries need to adopt a mindset of “making better things while
making things better” - which is exactly what nanotechnology does. This is where
emerging technologies such as graphene comes in. Since its discovery more
than a decade ago, graphene is becoming a potential key material for industries
such as electronics, medicine and automotive.”
MINISTER´S STATEMENT
YB DR ONG KIAN MINGDeputy Minister of International Trade and Industry
(Malaysia)
NANOMALAYSIA’S CHAIRMAN
STATEMENT
“Materials throughout history have affected the development of society as we
have seen with iron, brass and steel, and in the last two decades silicon
materials have enabled the advancement of computers and the ubiquity of
information technology. Today, the emergence of the supermaterial graphene is
set to alter the future. It is hard to imagine that a single layer of graphite which
is graphene could take some amazing properties, enough to have drastic
implications for the future of physics, engineering, and industry. This is what
inspired us at NanoMalaysia. We will continue to encourage government,
industry and academic collaboration in order that the nation will not miss the
opportunity to reap benefits from it. We are happy to co-organise Graphene
Malaysia 2018, now in its third year, as a platform for networking and
collaboration.”

single layer graphene oxide (GO) and thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in Kg-
quantities and are presently developing several derivatives for special applications,
including protective coatings for autoparts, a process for remediation of water
contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides based on a GO-based scavenger-
system. We are also involved in collaborative development of modified GO and rGO for
use in composites for construction materials, certain sports equipment and energy
storage in several collaborative projects. Our sister company, Graphene Batteries AS
uses a special rGO-grade in its battery developments. We actively work with our
customers to tune our GO and rGO to their needs.
