I-Aquatic Leisure Technologies (ALT) isandula ukuqalisa ichibi lokudada eliqiniswe nge-graphene-reinforced glass fiber reinforced composite (GFRP). Le nkampani ithe ichibi lokudada le-graphene nanotechnology elifunyenwe ngokusebenzisa i-graphene modified resin kunye nokuveliswa kwe-GFRP yendabuko likhaphukhaphu, linamandla, kwaye lihlala ixesha elide kunechibi le-GFRP yendabuko.

Ngowama-2018, i-ALT yaqhagamshelana neqabane leprojekthi kunye nenkampani yaseNtshona Australia iFirst Graphene (FG), engumthengisi weemveliso zegraphene ezisebenza kakuhle. Emva kweminyaka engaphezu kwama-40 yokwenza amachibi okudada e-GFRP, i-ALT ibisoloko ikhangela izisombululo ezingcono zokufunxa umswakama. Nangona ingaphakathi ledama le-GFRP likhuselwe ngumaleko ophindwe kabini wejeli, ingaphandle lichaphazeleka lula kukufuma okuvela kumhlaba ojikelezileyo.

UNeil Armstrong, uMphathi wezoRhwebo weFirst Graphene Composites, uthe: Iinkqubo ze-GFRP kulula ukuzifunxa amanzi kuba ziqulathe amaqela asabelayo anokusabela namanzi afunxiweyo nge-hydrolysis, nto leyo ebangela ukuba amanzi angene kwi-matrix, kwaye kunokubakho ama-blister okuntywila kwamanzi. Abavelisi basebenzisa amaqhinga ahlukeneyo okunciphisa ukungena kwamanzi ngaphandle kwamachibi e-GFRP, njengokongeza umqobo we-vinyl ester kwisakhiwo se-laminate. Nangona kunjalo, i-ALT ifuna ukhetho oluqinileyo kunye namandla okonyuka okugoba ukunceda ichibi layo ligcine imo yalo kwaye limelane noxinzelelo oluvela kwi-backfill kunye noxinzelelo lwe-hydrostatic okanye umthwalo we-hydrodynamic.
