  • Exfoliating laminar material by ultrasonication in surfactant
    Patent number: 9914108
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for exfoliating a laminar material to form an exfoliated material, in which the laminar material is ultrasonicated in a solution of a surfactant for sufficient time to form the exfoliated material. At all times during the ultrasonication the concentration of the surfactant in the solution is maintained sufficient to form a complete monolayer on the surfaces of the laminar material and the exfoliated material in the solution, or sufficient to sterically stabilize the laminar and exfoliated materials against aggregation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2018
    Assignee: The Australian National University
    Inventor: Shannon Notley
