G6 Materials Representative to give Keynote Presentation at Graphene Korea 2021 International Conference
Dr. Polyakova, CEO of Graphene Laboratories Inc. to Address Attendees Regarding Commercialization of Graphene Oxide
Ronkonkoma, New York, USA - TheNewswire – May 25, 2021 - G6 Materials Corp. (“G6” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GGG, OTCQB: GPHBF), a technology company creating value through the development of innovative graphene-based solutions, is pleased to announce that Dr. Elena Polyakova, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Graphene Laboratories Inc., NY, USA (“GLI”) since 2009, will be a keynote presenter addressing the attendees of the Graphene Korea 2021 International Conference (the “Conference”) taking place as a virtual event from May 26-28, 2021. In her capacity as a representative of G6 during the Conference, Dr. Polyakova’s address at 1:30 PM GMT+2 on May 26, 2021 may include forward-looking information.
Dr. Polyakova’s presentation will be focused on the commercialization and competitive landscape of graphene oxide and other graphene-like materials. Graphene oxide is emerging as a material that, once considered to be a precursor for graphene production, is now finding applications due its unique chemical nature. Graphene oxide, unlike other graphene-like materials, has an ability to be further modified by a variety of chemical moieties, offering unique solutions for applications in water purification, soil remediation and waste management. Consequently, the commercialization of graphene oxide is an area of high strategic importance for the Company due to the revolutionary implications of, and significant potential value that stands to be created from, its applications.
