This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small Business Technology Transfer Research Phase I project is directed toward the rapid, large-scale production of pristine nano graphene platelets (NGPs) ? an emerging class of nano materials expected to have a revolutionary impact on nanotechnology. NGPs exhibit exceptional properties as do carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but can be mass-produced at much lower costs. NGPs exhibit the highest intrinsic strength and highest thermal conductivity of the existing materials. Highly conductive graphene will find practical applications in nanoelectronics, transparent and conductive coating (e.g., as a replacement for ITO glass), supercapacitor, battery electrode, fuel cell bipolar plates, thermal interface materials, and conductive nanocomposite. The total potential market size for conductive nano fillers/nanocomposites is forecast to reach $5 billion ($550M for automotive components alone) by 2013.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这个小企业技术转让研究第一阶段项目是针对快速，大规模生产原始纳米石墨烯血小板（NGP）？一种新兴的纳米材料，有望对纳米技术产生革命性的影响。NGP与碳纳米管（CNT）一样具有特殊的性能，但可以以低得多的成本大规模生产。NGP表现出现有材料中最高的固有强度和最高的热导率。高导电性石墨烯将在纳米电子学、透明和导电涂层（例如，作为ITO玻璃的替代品）、超级电容器、电池电极、燃料电池双极板、热界面材料和导电纳米复合材料。到2013年，导电纳米填料/纳米复合材料的总潜在市场规模预计将达到50亿美元（仅汽车零部件就达到5.5亿美元）。
