NGPs provide a wide range of performance characteristics including:

Conductivity

• The highest thermal conductivity known today (up to ~ 5,300 W/(mK), five times that of copper, at a density that is four times lower
• Exceptional in-plane electrical conductivity (up to ~ 20,000 S/cm)

Strength

• Fifty times stronger than steel
• Ultra-high Young’s modulus (approximately 1,000 GPa) and highest intrinsic strength (~ 130 GPa estimated)

Surface Area

• High specific surface area (up to ~ 2,675 m2/g) twice that of CNTs

Density

• Low density (2.25 g/cm3)

Dimensions

• Available in a wide range of platelet lengths (typically 1-20 μm) and thicknesses (approximately 0.34 nm to 100 nm)
• Single layer graphene as thin as 0.34 nm
