Abstract
An apparatus and method for the production of graphene and similar atomic scale laminar materials by the delamination of a bulk laminar material where the apparatus includes a main pump () suitable for pumping a fluid, wherein the fluid includes a solid suspension of particles of the bulk laminar material, at a pressure of greater than 1 MPa, towards and in fluid communication with core components () that include a fluid conduit () and an impact head () that form an annular gap () of between 500 μm and 1 μm results between an end of the fluid conduit proximate to the impact head and the impact head and where the gap forms a continuous region surrounding the end of the fluid conduit that is substantially coplanar with the impact head where an impact head surround () extends the region in which the fluid is constrained before exiting the core components.
