[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n 11 September 2023\nGraft Polymer (UK) PLC\nGraft Polymer signs R&D agreement with the Slovenian Faculty of Polymer Technology to research and produce pivotal vitrimer polymer products\n \nGraft Polymer, (LSE:GPL) ('Graft' or the 'Company') a speciality multi-sector chemicals company offering modified and alloys polymers and bio-polymer solutions for refiners, compounders and processors, announces the signing of a research and development ('R&D') agreement with the Slovenian Faculty of Polymer Technology (FTPO) 1. The Company will work with FTPO for a year in developing polymer matrices, leveraging its technological expertise to prepare product samples, test products and produce a R&D report on findings. Materials provided by Graft will enable FTPO to take part in a number of cornerstone EU R&D HORIZON projects, whilst acting as a springboard for the Company in consolidating its growing presence in a pivotal new polymer proposition - vitrimers.\nVitrimer technologies are the most dynamic innovation in the polymer industry and a clear step beyond the traditional division of polymers into thermoplastics and thermosets. Each of those two classes of polymer has drawbacks in terms of cost, flexibility, product degradation, emission of toxic by-products and inability to be recycled. Vitrimers, however, are used for the production of SMART polymers, boasting a remarkable set of ...
