Top Ten Reasons to Try Graphene
1. Graphene is an ultra-thin layer of carbon atoms arranged in a
hexagonal pattern like chicken-wire. As a multi-functional
additive, this nanomaterial has been seen to impart its unique
material properties to the materials to which it is added.

2. Graphene’s very high thermal conductivity (up to
5,300 W/(m•K)) allows for heat to be quickly spread
away from a heat source.
In a sheet form, graphene can be used as a thermal
spreader in mobile electronics.

3. Graphene has amazing electrical conductivity due
to its excellent electron mobility.
Graphene is not a metal, but it has a surprisingly low
electrical resistance.
When graphene was added
to a thermoplastic, a 7-8
order of magnitude
reduction in electrical
resistance was observed.

4. Graphene has the highest intrinsic strength of all
materials (up to 130 GPa).
Graphene has a platelet morphology and very high
specific surface area.

5. Because of graphene’s exceptional thermal conductivity and
rheological properties, the time that it takes for materials to
be processed can be reduced.
This throughput enhancement can lead to savings in
production costs for injection, extrusion, and blow-molding
operations.

6. Graphene is impermeable to even very small
molecules such as H2O, O2, H2, and He.
Graphene’s
addition to a
coating
formulation
dramatically
improved the
coating’s barrier
properties.

7. When a material additive reduces the surface
coefficient of friction, it is said to positively impact the
material’s tribological properties.
This reduction in friction also reduces the material’s
wear rate.
In studies, graphene has
been seen to lower
frictional forces between
surfaces regardless of the
humidity in the
environment.

8. Materials that provide electromagnetic
shielding will block electromagnetic fields
that could harm wires or electronics.
Graphene in composites
has been seen to act as
an effective EMI shield
over a variety of
conditions.

9. Even though graphene in powder form
appears black, a thin film of graphene blocks
only 3% of light and is transparent.
Thin films of
graphene are
transparent and
conductive.

10. Compared to other nanomaterials such as carbon
nanotubes, graphene more easily disperses into
other materials.
Graphene from
Angstron Materials is
available in dispersion,
powder, masterbatch
polymer pellet,
conductive paste, and
thermal film forms.

11. Graphene’s unique
properties can be
delivered in
combination to the
material systems
to which it is
added.
