Conductive plastics: Carbon for a low-carbon future

SHARE

Can carbon support a low-carbon future, as the demand for electrically conductive plastics increases?

In a recent interview with Compounding World, Torkel Nord Bjärneman, Business Development Manager – Polymers at Graphmatech, shared his insights on the development of graphene-enhanced polymers and the possibilities of utilizing graphene to create sustainable solutions.

”We usually speak of multifunctionality when we talk about added benefit, because graphene can enable applications where for example the mechanical, thermal properties and processability are just as critical as the electrical properties.“

Smooth SLS Printing in Half the Processing Time 

Uppsala, Sweden — Graphmatech is introducing a game-changing material for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing — AROS SLS PA11 ESD — powder engineered with graphene.  Experience easy, safe handling and seamless printing without the mess, reducing the post-processing time by half. Our PA11 ESD powder flows easily through the printer and drastically simplifies the cleaning process.
Solid progress in hydrogen infrastructure certification 

Uppsala, Sweden — Hydrogen is an important part of the transition to a more sustainable future. However, it presents engineering challenges since the gas easily escapes from pipes and storage vessels. Hydrogen is not only expensive, but it also has an eleven times greater global warming potential (GWP) than carbon dioxide. It’s imperative for both
Blowmoulded graphene-enhanced liners now a reality for the hydrogen industry!

Uppsala, Sweden — Graphmatech AB, a leading company in the development of graphene-enhanced polymers, is proud to announce its collaboration with ST Blowmoulding to achieve the first successful blow moulding production of graphene-carrying HDPE liners on their ASPI 200 BM machine. This achievement demonstrates the compatibility of Graphmatech’s graphene-carrying thermoplastics with another key industrial production
Safer, less leaky gas tubes to Canada 

Uppsala, Sweden — According to their new MoU, Polytubes and Graphmatech are co-developing tubes for hydrogen and gas distribution.  The pipes are expected to leak significantly less hydrogen gas than current technology. Reducing leakage is not only a financial priority, but also an environmental priority. Hydrogen has a an eleven-times higher global warming potential (GWP)
