Pure platelets –
Not all graphene is created equal
Graphene is thinner than the diameter of a single human
hair (17 microns). One gram of the super powder can
cover half a football field. Nano-graphene platelets are
transparent enough to see through yet can stretch up to
20% of their length, are stiffer than a diamond and 100
times stronger than steel. These and other performance
attributes are driving scientists, researchers and manufacturers to harness the material’s commercial advantages for a wide range of applications.
T
o achieve repeatable results in
product development, the quality of graphene is as important
as the characteristics that make it so
desirable. But not all graphene is created
equal. Selecting the right material can
seem somewhat complex for companies
interested in using graphene, but understanding the basic criteria that make up
quality graphene is a first step. Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio (USA), Angstron
Materials is the world’s largest producer
of nano-graphene platelets (also called
NGPs) and the only manufacturer able to
produce pristine graphene.
Key characteristics
A number of customers still aren’t all
that familiar with what graphene is. The
crystallographically perfect platelets are
made up of carbon. Resembling chicken
wire, carbon atoms form a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice by bonding chemi-
