Nano Graphene Platelet Applications

Application examples include:

NGP excels in mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, Nano Graphene Platelets (NGP) also possess advantages for many chemical and adsorptive features, including:

• Chemical bonding to a large range of resins that enables tailoring of composite properties.
• NGP is able to readily form reactive oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen sites on graphene, which allows for superior bonding to other materials.
• NGP is highly adsorptive so it can be used to filter out many harmful organic and non organic materials including heavy metals and radionucleides from wastewater and ground water.

Because of these features and the broad range of applications this material is applicable to projects in a wide range of industries.   

1. NGP shows superior performance in battery electrodes, super capacitors, and bipolar plates in fuel cells, solar cells and energy storage.
2. NGP can be used to shield electromagnetic impulse and radio frequency for telecommunications devices (e.g., mobile phones), computers, and business machines.
3. When NGP surface is treated with sensitized molecules, it can be used to produce highly sensitive biosensors.
4. NGP has many applications in the aerospace some are: aircraft braking systems (carbon/carbon composites), thermal management, EMI/RFI shielding, and lightning strike protection
5. NGP has superior performance for many applications in the automotive market such as fuel systems (charge dissipation capability), tires (heat dissipation and stiffness enhancement), polymer composites for interior and external parts and vehicle parts like bumpers, fenders, and body components that require electrostatic spray painting.
6. In heat dissipation materials, NGP can be used for many applications including interconnections in microelectronic and thermal packaging.

NGP applies to many areas for environmental/chemical applications including waste chemical/water treatments, filtration and purification.
