  • HIGHLY EFFICIENT PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE OF EXFOLIATED GRAPHENE
    Publication number: 20110014111
    Abstract: A process for preparing oxidized graphite that provides exfoliated graphene, preferably with high surface area. The process uses considerably less chlorate than previously known systems.

  • Semi-conducting polymer compositions for the preparation of wire and cable
    Patent number: 7863522
    Abstract: Compositions comprising a polyolefin polymer and an expanded graphite exhibit uniform conductivity over a broad range of temperature. In one embodiment, the polyolefin polymer is polypropylene or polyethylene homopolymer or a polypropylene or polyethylene copolymer. The compositions provide uniform conductivity and can be used as a conductive formulation for medium and high voltage cable components.

  • Polymers filled with highly expanded graphite
    Publication number: 20080171824
    Abstract: Polymers are filled with from 1 to 8% by weight of an expanded graphite having a BET surface area of at least 120 m2/g. Processes for preparing such polymers include forming a dispersion of the expanded graphite in a polymerizable monomer or curable polymer precursor, and polymerizing or curing same in the presence of the expanded graphite. Electroconductive polymers can be prepared in this manner using low levels of the expanded graphite material.
