World’s first commercial graphene application

By R&D Editors | January 4, 2011

Angstron
Materials Inc., announced the world’s first commercial graphene
application. The ongoing development of touch screens for consumer
electronics is driving a growing need for sense data. Angstron’s
graphene material is being used by a major manufacturer which produces
actuator and sensing components for this market.

The
world’s largest producer of nano graphene platelets (NGPs), Angstron’s
single layer graphene has exhibited high electrical properties including
exceptional in-plane electrical conductivity (up to ~ 20,000 S/cm) when
compared to other nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and
carbon nano-fibers (CNFs). Products targeted include a wide range of
consumer electronics including smart phones and other portable
electronics, computer peripherals, touchpad’s, POS kiosks, and industrial
controls.

Angstron
Materials offers a variety of graphene materials in sizes ranging from
nano to micron in the x, y, and z axis. These advanced materials are
collectively referred to as nano graphene platelets (NGPs). NGPs offer
improved material performance and superior mechanical, thermal, barrier,
and electrical conductivity properties. As a result, Angstron is able to
work with companies to functionalize graphene for specific applications
that include batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, light weight
structural components as well as electromagnetic interference (EMI),
radio frequency interference (RFI), electrostatic discharge (ESD),
lightning strike, and other functional and structural composite
applications.

Angstron
uses its research and development expertise to partner with customers
throughout the commercialization process, reducing time and costs while
improving performance. NGPs are surface functionalizable for polymer and
common solvent applications and can offer loadings of up to 40%
weight for a variety of applications.
