Graphene platelets rival nanotubes.(NANOMATERIALS)

Angstron Materials LLC, USA, claims that it is the first advanced materials company to offer large quantities of single atomic layer thick nano-graphene platelets (NGPs). These carbon-based NGPs are being marketed as cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to nanotubes.

The material can be blended with other nanomaterials to achieve higher loadings required for various forms of composite lamina as well as nanocomposites for load-bearing and functional applications, says the company.

Angstron claims that NGPs outperform all other nanomaterials on the market. Properties include:

* thermal conductivity five times than copper;

* faster thermal dissipation;
