  • Patent number: 9309382
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene polymer composite material, including a matrix resin, a filler and a plurality of nano-scaled graphene sheets. Each nano-scaled graphene sheet has a surface-modified layer formed of a surface modifying agent, which provides hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups used to form chemical bonds with the matrix resin and the filler, thereby greatly improving strength of junction cohesion. The filler helps the graphene sheets to contact each other so as so to increase overall electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Since the graphene sheets are uniformly dispersed in the matrix resin, the composite material of the present invention possesses excellent mechanical property, anti-oxidation, acid-base resistance, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Therefore, the composite material is suitable for the industries in need of high performance material.

  • Publication number: 20150313041
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene dissipation structure including a substrate and a graphene dissipation layer. The substrate has at least two surfaces. One of the surfaces contacts at least one heat source, and another one is not in contact with the heat source and provided with the graphene dissipation layer, which includes surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets, a carrier resin and a filler. The surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets are well dispersed in the carrier resin, and enhanced to contact each other through the filler to form a thermal conductive network. The ratio of the particle size of the filler and the thickness of the graphene nanometer sheets is about 2 to 100. Therefore, the heat absorbed by the substrate from the heat source is transferred to the graphene dissipation layer, and further dissipated to the outside through thermal conduction or radiation, thereby achieving the function of heat dissipation.

  • Publication number: 20150294752
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene masterbatch including a base resin, electrically conductive carbon black, graphene nanoplatelets with modified surface and a dispersant. The modified surface of graphene nanoplatelet is formed by a modifying agent containing a coupling compound so as to possess hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional groups, which help graphene nanoplatelets form chemical bonding with carbon black and the base resin. Since the modified surface makes graphene nanoplatelets evenly dispersed in the base resin, the graphene masterbatch of the present invention is suitably melt blended with a polymer material to form a composite material such that graphene nanoplatelets are evenly dispersed in the polymer material, thereby enhancing junction strength, increasing mechanical properties, and improving anti-oxidation, acid/base resistance, and thermal conductivity.

    Abstract: A current collector structure includes a metal foil substrate and a graphene conductive layer provided on at least one surface of the metal foil substrate. The graphene conductive layer includes a plurality of graphene sheets and a polymer binder used to bind the graphene sheets together and to adhere the graphene sheets onto the metal foil substrate. The conductive layer has a thickness of 0.1 ?m to 5 ?m and a resistance less than 1 ?-cm. The polymer binder increases the adhesion force, such that the integrated conductive network is thus formed. Since the polymer binder is well compatible with the binder as the active material contained in the electrochemical element. The active material of the electrochemical element is thus tightly bound with the graphene conductive layer so as to minimize the contact resistance and greatly improve the performance of the electrochemical element.
