Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions comprising graphene sheets, at least one binder, and a carrier system, wherein about 1 to about 50 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one cyclic amide, cyclic imide, and/or lactone. The compositions may be used as coatings and inks.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising graphene sheets, graphite, at least one binder, and a carrier system, wherein about 1 to about 50 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone and wherein the ratio by weight of graphite to graphene sheets is from about 50:50 to about 85:15. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the carrier system comprises about 1 to about 40 weight percent of at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the carrier system comprises about 3 to about 40 weight percent of at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the binder is one or more selected from acrylate polymers, polyamides, and poly(vinyl butyral). 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the carrier system comprises gamma-butyrolactone. 6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising silver. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the graphene sheets have a surface area of at least about 400 m 2 /g. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the graphene sheets have a surface area of at least about 500 m 2 /g. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the graphene sheets have a carbon to oxygen ratio of at least about 10:1. 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the graphene sheets have a carbon to oxygen ratio of at least about 25:1. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the graphene sheets have a carbon to oxygen ratio of at least about 75:1. 12. The composition of claim 1 in the form of an ink or coating. 13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein from about 1 to about 30 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone. 14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein from about 5 to about 40 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone. 15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein from about 5 to about 30 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one cyclic imide and/or lactone.
