A Revolutionary Nano Materials Technology !!Scientists at Ångstron Materials (a spin-off from Nanotek Instruments, Inc.), with research grants from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Programs, have developed a new class of nano materials now commonly referred to as nano-scaled graphene plates or platelets (NGPs) and NGP nanocomposites (8 US patents issued or pending). The NGPs exhibit attractive properties like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nano-fibers (CNFs), but can be readily mass-produced and are available in larger quantities at much lower costs. The NGPs have the following features: · Ultra-high Young’s modulus (approximately 1,000 GPa) and high strength (~ 100-400 GPa estimated).· Exceptional in-plane electrical conductivity (up to ~ 20,000 S/cm). · Outstanding thermal conductivity (up to ~ 3,000 Wm-1@K-1). · Extraordinarily high specific surface area (up to ~ 2,675 m2/g). · Low density (2.25 g/cm3). · Outstanding resistance to gas permeation. · Readily Surface-Functionalizable. · Dispersable in many polymers and common solvents. · Available in a wide range of platelet lengths (typically 1-20 Fm) and thicknesses (approximately 0.34 nm to 100 nm). · High loading in nanocomposites.
Vision • Ångstron expects to become the global leader of lowest cost-of-use, highest-quality carbon nano materials products by Year 2012. • Ångstron, with its new NGP platform of technologies, will become the industry leader in creating and establishing new market sectors for nano materials. Mission Statement Provide ground-breaking nano materials technologies and value-added solutions to our customers and partners.
Company InformationÅngstron Materials is an industry-leading nano carbon materials innovator and manufacturer with an integrated family of carbon nano-material technologies. Ångstron is the first company in the world to mass-produce nano-scaled graphene platelets (NGPs). Ångstron produces a wide range of NGPs, NGP dispersions, and NGP nanocomposites for diverse markets: automotive, aerospace, microelectronics and telecommunications (thermal management and EMI/RFI shielding), energy storage and conversions (batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors), and environmental protection. In parallel, new markets and applications are constantly being developed. Ångstron supplies its products to target markets and customers, including multinational corporations and Fortune 500 companies. Ångstron reduces the cycle time for innovation by co-developing nano-engineered solutions for specific customer applications. The Company has complete capability from application development through pilot quantities and annual production. The Company’s business model is based on strategic partnerships with companies who either currently occupy market channels or need Ångstron to engineer nano-material solutions for their particular products or processes to meet emerging market goals. Ångstron's patent-protected and proprietary technology engineers unique nano platelets, typically in the range of 0.34-100 nanometers in thickness and 1-20 Fm in length (width), leading to an exceptionally high aspect ratio (up to > 10,000). Ångstron can modify the nano platelet surface to manipulate electrical, thermal, mechanical, optical, magnetic, chemical and other properties, while precisely controlling the platelet dimensions and other physical parameters. As a leader in carbon nano-materials, Ångstron has created an integrated platform of carbon nano-material technologies that are designed to deliver a value-added solution for a market application. Products are available as nano platelets, surface-treated nano platelets, stable dispersions in aqueous or organic media, nanocomposites, and other readily usable forms. |
