Nanotek Instruments, parent company of Angstron Materials, has been issued a US Patent for its development of a new high-performing class of meso-porous nanocomposites. The new nanocomposite provides a superior supercapacitor electrode material for uses that include hybrid electric vehicles (EVs), transportation and energy storage. The technology is based on the company’s breakthrough discovery of nano graphene platelets (NGPs). Angstron, the world leader in production of NGPs, will make the nanocomposite material. Angstron will provide the meso-porous NGP nanocomposites in two forms: NGPs coated with a thin layer of conducting polymer or surface functional groups and NGPs bonded by a conductive binder, coating, or matrix material such as a polymeric carbon. The platelets in these products are comprised of a sheet of graphite plane or multiple sheets of graphite plane with a thickness less than 10 nm and an average length, width, or diameter smaller than 500 nm. The binder or

[div> Angstron Materials gets a patent for their nano-graphene supercapacitors Angstron’s NGPs (nano graphene platelets) offer a cost effective, high performance alternative to carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. The first company to isolate and successfully produce large quantities of single-layer and multi-layer graphene sheets, Angstron’s nano graphene solutions eliminate the viscosity and dispersion problems associated with processing advanced materials using carbon nanotubes and fibers. Other advantages include: 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) Fifty times stronger than steel Ultra-high Young’s modulus (approximately 1,000 GPa) and highest intrinsic strength (~ 130 GPa estimated) High specific surface area (up to… [[ This is a content summary only.

<[div> The U.S. Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced in December 2009 over $31 million in funding through its Technology Innovation Program (TIP) for nine new cost-sharing projects that will support innovative, high-risk research in novel nanomaterials or nanomanufacturing technologies that address critical national needs. TIP is focused on developing new materials based on nanotechnology—advanced composites and “superalloys,” or smart materials—and expanding the capacity to incorporate these materials into new products. The acceleration of advanced nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing is a critical strategy to advance the growth and competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. Several key issues of nanomaterials production and nanomanufacturing were specifically cited in the NIST white paper; "Accelerating the Incorporation of Materials Advances into Manufacturing Processes" including:The cost of m

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:59:16 -0700

Angstron Materials announced that they have been awarded a $1.494 million project to develop processes for mass-producing chemically modified (“functionalized”) Nano Graphene Platelets (NGP) for a nearly limitless number of applications in the aerospace, energy, defense, automotive and telecommunications markets. Angstron was selected for the award by the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Angstron developed NGPs as an alternative to carbon nanotubes, which are difficult to disperse in plastic and often have purity issues—not to mention the cost factor. NGPs have been shown to have striking material properties; among other things, it has the highest intrinsic strength and the highest thermal conductivity of all existing materials as well as exceptional in-plane electrical conductivity (up to ~ 20,000 S/cm)and electron mobility that is 100 times faster than silicon.
