  • Publication number: 20180215940
    Abstract: A dispersion of nanoplatelets or particles suspended in a carrier liquid is disclosed. The nanoplatelets or particles, e.g. graphene nanoplatelets, are derived from a layered material. The loading amount of nanoplatelets or particles in the dispersion is at least 20 mg nanoplatelets or particles per 1 ml of dispersion. The dispersion optionally further including a dispersant, the volume ratio of dispersant to the nanoplatelets or particles being less than 1:1. A process for manufacturing the dispersion includes mixing the carrier liquid and the nanoplatelets or particles under high shear conditions. The dispersion can be used as an ink system, as a functional additive within an ink, coating or adhesive formulation, and/or in the manufacture of a nanoplatelet-polymer composite or a particle-polymer composite.
