What are NGP's?
Nano Graphene Platelets (NGP) also called Graphene Nano Platelets (GNP) are similar to carbon nanotubes but have twice the surface area, The NGP can be pictured as a opened up CNT and flattened the properties and characteristics of Nano Graphene Platelets NGPs should outperform all other nanomaterials on the market.
Characteristics
Graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of graphite, is a new material which combines aspects of semiconductors and metals.
NGPs: Thickness: 0.34 – 100 nm
Length/width: 0.5- 20 µm typical
A single layer of carbon atoms tightly arranged in a honeycomb pattern, graphene was long thought to be an interesting theoretical concept that was impossible in practice--it would be too unstable, and crumple into some other configuration.
The discovery, in 2004, that graphene actually could exist touched off a rush of experimentation to explore its properties. Graphene has been described as a carbon nanotube unrolled, and shares some of the unique properties of nanotubes. In particular, it's a so-called ballistic conductor, meaning that electrons flow through it at high speed, like photons through a vacuum, with virtually no collisions with the atoms in the crystal. This makes it a potentially outstanding conductor for wires and other elements in nanoscale electronics.
