Kyma is pleased to provide a short summary of a published interview by InnovationFWD of Ms. Arsheen Allam, co-founder and CEO of GOLeafe, Kyma's manufacturing partner for nanocrystalline graphene materials.

In an article entitled GOLEAFE TACKLES GRAPHENE PRODUCTION IN A COST-EFFECTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY MANNER which was written by Ms. Wendy Zhang for InnovationFWD, Ms. Allam speaks about her background, how GOLeafe got started, the shortfalls of today's graphene supply chain - namely price and scalability, and how GOLeafe's technology will overcome these challenges.

Ms. Allam also discusses GOLeafe's first target applications which are supercapacitors for battery applications, filtration for desalination, and solar energy panels.

Ms. Allam also mentions that GOLeafe's Chief Technology Officer is Dr. Sarkar, "a renowned chemistry professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, with a brilliant lot of PhD students who serve as our core research team."

Kyma and GOLeafe first announced their strategic partnership in nanocrystalline graphene materials in November 2017. To read about Kyma's graphene (made by GOLeafe) product line, visit Kyma's associated graphene product page.
