Thermoplastics can be improved by adding Graphene

NetComposites says that adding Graphene to the polymer in Thermoplastics can improve its mechanical, electrical, thermal and barrier properties. They predict that just 1% by volume of graphene nano platelets could yield a tensile modulus increase of 95% over an unfilled polymer.


The company is bringing together a European partnership to develop this technology in several application areas, such as electronics, lighting, packaging and structural components. They hope to get funding from the European Commissions Framework 7 funding programme.
