Electrically conductive composites and inks
Graphene significantly enhances the electrical conductivity of composites and inks, offering superior performance for advanced electronics and flexible circuits
We specialize in the production of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) suitable for the development of high-performing, electrically conductive composites and inks. rGO is a cost-effective and scalable alternative to pristine graphene, offering excellent conductivity and versatility for various applications.
What are conductive inks?
Conductive inks are liquids infused with electrically conductive nanomaterials such as graphene. These inks are combined with a stabilizer to achieve optimal consistency for precise printing. The resulting print conducts electricity and can replace wires and copper tracks. This way, complex electronic circuits can be printed cost-effectively.
What are conductive composites?
Conductive composites contain electrically conductive nanomaterials like graphene. These composites provide added functionalities, including electrostatic dissipation, improved mechanical properties, and superior electrical conductivity. This technology allows for the cost-effective production of flexible transparent displays, supercapacitors and sensors.
Boost electrical conductivity in composites and inks with graphene
Electrical conductivity is crucial for the performance of advanced electronics and flexible circuits. By integrating graphene, composites and inks can gain remarkable properties:
High conductivity
Dramatically improved electrical conductivity, enabling faster and more efficient electron transport. Graphene comprises a vast carbon-carbon bond network connected in a hexagonal 2D pattern, with electrons above and below acting as electron highways.
Enhanced durability
Provides robustness and longevity, reducing wear and tear from electrical currents. The carbon-carbon matrix makes the materials exceptionally strong and durable, even stronger than steel, while still remaining lightweight.
Thin yet powerful
Enables the creation of lightweight and thin devices without sacrificing electrical performance. Even a single sheet of Graphene with the thickness of a single carbon atom has 70 % higher conductivity than that of copper, commonly used in electronic components.
Flexible and adaptable
Can be bent and integrated into various shapes without breaking, making it exceptional for applications such as flexible electronics and wearable technology.
