Graphene and Scanning Electron Microscopy
Today’s entry is devoted to one of the most basic techniques for characterizing of manifold materials, including graphene and its derivatives – Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Scanning electron microscopy allows to visualize morphological features of conductive materials and in case of G-Flake® products, it allows to indicate one of its most important parameters, determining final properties […]
Composites Including Graphene Materials
It’s time to get back to talking about graphene and present one of the most well-known applications of almost each nanomaterial, which is a reinforcing phase in composites. It is evident that the resulting properties of the composite can be shaped through the manufacturing process parameters, internal structure and the appropriately chosen composition of components. […]
Graphene Material Modifications
Today, we will present to you the advantages of graphene material modifications, particularly related to decorating graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) flakes with various nanoparticles. This is one of the research topics pursued by the Flake Graphene Group at Łukasiewicz – Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics, using G-Flake® materials. As you know, […]
Graphene Paper [PUBLICATION]
We will present a very interesting product offered by our G-Flake® brand, called graphene paper. While the previously presented materials, namely graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), are often offered by other manufacturers, graphene paper can be considered as a custom product with significant commercial potential. Graphene paper can be treated as a […]
Electrochemical Properties of G-Flake®
We are continuing our introduction to graphene materials characterization techniques. It’s time to write a few words about testing the electrochemical properties of G-Flake® conducted by Flake Graphene Research Group at Łukasiewicz – Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics. Prior to examination, graphene material needs to be synthesized and formed into an electrode, which will undergo […]
Graphene Materials and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Analysis
Buckle up and read about the interesting information that can be obtained through BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) analysis, as well as why studying the distribution of pore sizes and specific surface area (SSA) is essential for graphene materials. Extracting information on specific surface area is crucial for industrial processes and chemical reactions. Substances with identical mass and volume […]
G-Flake® as a Component of Gas Sensors [PUBLICATION]
Oh, what graphene can make! Our flake graphene G-Flake® has already played first fiddle in anti-corrosion varnish, reinforced with carbon fiber turned out to be much less sensitive to temperature changes, and recently has become a component of gas sensors such as: pure argon, hydrogen and propane-butane mixture. It’s an incredibly versatile material Hybrid sensors that […]
Fibrous Mats Enhanced with G-Flake® Materials
Let’s provide a more detailed overview of G-Flake® materials applications, both those with commercial potential and those related to fundamental research. Additionally, we will describe the characterization techniques we use in Flake Graphene Research Group for studying (but not only) graphene-related materials. Today’s post is dedicated to the work related to the fibrous mats enhanced […]
G-Flake Materials as Feedstock for 3D Printers
Today, we will tell you about the work of the Flake Graphene Research Group related to the use of G-Flake® materials as feedstock for 3D printers. It is worth noting that graphene-related materials can be used in this context using at least two approaches: as an additive to printing filament or as a component of […]
Reduced Graphene Oxide – the Material of First Choice
Today we will talk about another material offered by the G-Flake® brand. This material is reduced graphene oxide (RGO), which exhibits properties similar to those of pristine graphene. Based on our researchers’ experience from conversations with representatives of companies operating in various industries, as well as contacts with scientific institutions, we can state that in […]
