Graphene Nanoplatelet, Purity: 99.9+%, Size: 6 nm, S.A: 175 m2/g, Dia: 20 μm

The structure of graphene nanoplatelets is best described as steps of parallel sheets of hexagonal carbon atoms. They agglomerate quickly due to Van der Waals forces generally 5 to twenty layers thick. Graphene nanoplatelets of various diameters up to 50 microns with an average thickness of 5 to 10 nanometers are available. These fascinating nanoparticles are made up of small steps of platelets shaped different sheets that are similar to those in the walls of carbon nanotube but in a planar form. Functionalization at spots on the edges of the platelets can be used to provide halogen or covalent bonding capacity. Because of their unique size and shape, graphene nanoplatelets can achieve increased barrier qualities as well as improved mechanical properties. Because of their pure graphitic composition, the none of platelets are also considered to be great conductors of heat and electricity. These nanoplatelet graphene sheets are also highly conductive, forming an effective conducting network even at modest loading levels. The properties include increased thermal and electrical conductivity and stability, improved barrier properties, reduced component mass while maintaining for improving properties, and increased frame retardants with graphene nanoplatelets.

Application

A wide range of use of graphene nanoplatelets can be used for the improvement of the properties of polymeric materials, including thermoset composites, synthetic or natural rubber, adhesives, Paints, and coatings because of their unique nanosize, shape, and material composition. With the correct choice of dispersion age, equipment, and procedures, graphene nanoplatelets may be dispersed in water, organic solvents, and polymers. When used alone, graphene nanoplatelets can be used to replace both conventional and nanoscale additives while also boarding the spectrum of attributes that can be altered. They can assist cut costs and increasing property modification when used in conjunction with other additives. Graphene nanoplatelets are appropriate additives for applications that require any property improvements due to their multifunctional properties. Multiple films or expensive lamination processes can be reduced or eliminated, resulting in significant processing or material cost reductions. The graphene nanoplatelets greatly lower the permeability, making them ideal for usage and as an electrode in advanced batteries and supercapacitors and a conductive component in specialty coatings or adhesives.
