GFRP is a natural insulator. Its electrical non-conductivity makes it ideal for use in power plants, substations ...

Now AKHAN Semiconductor says it’s figured out how to build on that original breakthrough, further refining the production process to create what may be the first-ever diamond-reinforced glass.
