PowerPoint PresentationDid I Miss Something: Leveraging the
Unintended Impact of Graphene in a Formulation
Leroy Magwood, Jr, PhD.
Graphene Development Graphene Properties
f. Pyrolysis
Properties and Applications can be applied more broadly to
nanoparticles in general
Creating and Effective Pathways to Success Using Graphene
Resin
Mechanical Chemical
Strength of Composites in Automotive
• Improved compression strength by 20%
• Increased heat deflection temperature by 15oC
Improved Noise Vibration Improved Manufacturability Easier CB
Handling
Elastomers: Potential to decease rolling resistance
Structural Applications: Lightweighting and potential increases in
lifecycle of final
product
Functional Foams, Headliners, and Textiles: Potential to replace
toxic FR
Thermoelectric Materials: Potential cooling and heat recovery
improvements
Can be used in sensors for safety and environmental protection and
detection
Potential to use in nanofluids for thermal management
• Improved NVH (noise & vibration) by 17%
