NGM-Ether Type Shape Memory Polymer

NGM-Ether Type Shape Memory Polymer

NGM-Ether type shape memory polymers are plastics that have a shape memory effect, that is, they can apparently “remember” their previous outer shape despite a strong reshaping in the meantime. Shape memory polymers are the subject of intensive research. Their first commercial use is in medical technology, where metallic shape-memory materials already play a role, but can also have biological uses. A fascinating area where shape memory polymers impact is quite significant today is photonics. By being able to change their shape, shape memory polymers enable the production of functional and attractive photonic gratings. Recently, this technology has expanded for applications in orthopedic surgery. In addition, NGM-Ether type shape memory polymers are now used in various ophthalmic devices including punctum plugs, glaucoma shunts, and intraocular lenses. Other potential applications are self-repairing components, such as automobile fenders, in which indentations are repaired using temperature. After an undesirable deformation, such as a dent in the fender, these materials "remember" their original shape.

What are Graphene Nanoplatelets?

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are nanoscale particles made of multiple stacked layers of graphene, typically a few nanometers thick with diameters ranging from submicron to several microns. They deliver much of graphene's performance, including high electrical and thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical strength, while remaining easier to produce and more cost-effective for large-scale use. Their platelet shape and high aspect ratio make them especially valuable as additives, as explained in our overview of graphene nanoplatelet properties and applications.

Properties of Graphene Nanoplatelets

  • High electrical conductivity for conductive composites and coatings
  • Excellent thermal conductivity for heat dissipation and thermal management
  • High mechanical strength and stiffness for reinforcement
  • Large surface area and high aspect ratio
  • Chemical stability and barrier properties
  • Cost-effective and scalable for industrial use

Applications of Graphene Nanoplatelets

Graphene nanoplatelets are used across a wide range of industries, thanks to their balance of performance and cost. They reinforce polymer and composite materials, improve electrical and thermal conductivity in coatings and inks, and enhance electrode performance in batteries and supercapacitors. Their conductive network also supports EMI shielding, anti-static coatings, and thermal interface materials, and you can explore some of the best application areas of graphene nanoplatelets in more detail. The electrical properties of GNPs make them a practical choice wherever conductivity and mechanical strength are needed together.

Graphene Nanoplatelets vs Graphene Oxide

Graphene nanoplatelets and graphene oxide serve different needs. GNPs are conductive, hydrophobic, and ideal for reinforcement and thermal or electrical enhancement, while graphene oxide is oxygen-rich, water-dispersible, and better suited to functionalization and membranes. Our comparison of GNPs versus graphene oxide for composites can help you choose the right material for your formulation.
