Development of a QC Method for the Determination of Aspect Ratio of Graphene & 2D Nanomaterials

“开发一种测定石墨烯和2D纳米材料长宽比的QC方法”旨在找到一种替代的时间和成本有效的方法来确定石墨烯和2D材料的长宽比。将采取的方法如下：*生产石墨烯纳米片材料；*用最先进的技术进行长宽比调查(扫描电子显微镜/原子力显微镜)；*替代表征方法(分布式控制系统和激光衍射)；*数据比较和建模；*分析方法验证。项目合作伙伴托马斯·斯旺(TS)、国家物理实验室(NPL)带来了独特的技术技能，当这些技能协同结合时，将允许加速该项目的技术开发。该项目的产出将通过改善石墨烯的表征产生更高质量的石墨烯材料，并开辟新的令人兴奋的市场，使Thomas Swan能够最大限度地发挥其在全球石墨烯市场的制造和商业潜力。

"Development of a QC Method for the Determination of Aspect Ratio of Graphene & 2D Nanomaterials" aims to find an alternative time and cost-effective way to determine aspect ratio for Graphene and 2D materials.The approach that will be undertaken is as follow:*Production of Graphene Nanoplatelets materials;*Aspect ratio investigation with state-of-the-art techniques (SEM/AFM);*Alternative characterisation method (DCS and laser diffraction);*Data comparison and modelling;*Analytical method validation.The project partners involved Thomas Swan (TS), National Physical Laboratory (NPL) bring unique technical skills that when collaboratively combined, will allow for the accelerated technical development of this project. Outputs from this project will yield to higher quality graphene materials by improving its characterisation and open up new and exciting markets, allowing Thomas Swan to maximise it's manufacturing and commercial potential in the global graphene market.
