The mechanism of liquid-phase shear exfoliation of graphite is proposed. Based on the mathematical apparatus of random Markov processes, a process model has been developed and dependencies for calculating the elements of the transition probabilities matrix have been proposed. The parameters of the mathematical model were identified and the calculated and experimental results were compared. Based on this model, a method for calculating the geometrical parameters of the statorrotor of the apparatus and operating parameters of the process has been developed and tested. The experimental prototype apparatus was designed, calculated and manufactured at the JSC "Tambovskii Zavod "Komsomolets" imeni N. S. Artyomova".
