Abstract: This invention discloses formulations of mutually compatible sets of graphene, graphene-carbon, metal and dielectric inks for the fabrication of high performance membrane touch switches (MTS). The compositions of these inks are optimized to achieve higher degree of compatibility with highly engineered polymeric substrates, thereby offering a holistic solution for fabricating high-performance MTS. These sets of materials can also be used for fabrication of sensors, biosensors and RFIDs on flexible substrates, such as polymers and papers.

Abstract: Methods for producing graphene-based products using graphene paste compositions. These methods include producing free-standing graphene foils, films, sheets, polymer supported graphene films, printed graphene structures, graphene features on polymer films, graphene substrates, and graphene metal foils. The methods impart functional characteristics, including corrosion protection and barrier properties to achieve selective enhancement of desired electrical, thermal, mechanical, barrier and other properties.

Abstract: A method of synthesizing high quality graphene for producing graphene particles and flakes is presented. The engineered qualities of the graphene include size, aspect ratio, edge definition, surface functionalization and controlling the number of layers. Fewer defects are found in the end graphene product in comparison to previous methods. The inventive method of producing graphene is less aggressive, lower cost and more environmentally friendly than previous methods. This method is applicable to both laboratory scale and high volume manufacturing for producing high quality graphene flakes.
