29% concrete strength uplift confirmed in Australian field trials

28 January 2026·Partnership

Independent compressive testing in Australia confirms a 29% strength uplift at 28 days for GO-modified concrete versus the control mix. Civil-engineering pilots commencing.

A 28-day field trial conducted at a reputed concrete strength testing facility in Australia has confirmed a 29% compressive strength uplift for GO-modified concrete versus the control mix.

The mechanism - crack arrest, improved hydration through the water affinity of graphene oxide, and reduction in capillary porosity - is well-documented in the academic literature. The magnitude of the effect, however, remains highly dependent on the quality of the source GO. Our material's monolayer character and uniform oxidation appear to translate directly into mechanical performance.

Pilot deployments with civil engineering partners are commencing through 2026.
