LNJ Bhilwara and Birla Cellulose partner to explore functional textiles with graphene

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, is known for its exceptional strength, conductivity, and lightweight properties.

LNJ Bhilwara Group Companies (RSWM & TACC) announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Birla Cellulose, Cellulosic Fibres division of Grasim Industries as the next step forward in the development of graphene technology for textile applications.

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, is known for its exceptional strength, conductivity, and lightweight properties, with applications in electronics, energy storage, coatings, composites, construction materials, and textiles.

Under this collaboration:

• TACC will supply graphene derivatives to Birla Cellulose
• Birla Cellulose will integrate TACC’s graphene derivatives into the production of viscose fibres.
• RSWM will use these graphene-enhanced viscose fibres for textile manufacturing

This collaboration is set to evaluate textile innovation, integrating graphene’s remarkable properties into fabrics, enhancing durability, performance, and sustainability.
