What is this PAS about?
It provides guidance on the information to be provided so that prospective users of graphene flakes can have comparative information.
Who is this PAS for?
- Anyone wanting to compare the basic properties of graphene flake materials from different manufacturers
- Materials processing and test equipment manufacturers
- Procurement managers
- Researchers
- Policy makers
Why should you use this PAS?
The number of organizations incorporating graphene into commercial applications is growing, making it important to provide users with standardization. To that end, this PAS provides guidance on the information to be provided by producers and suppliers of graphene flakes in order to provide comparative information to prospective users. It includes characterization of particle morphology and other physical and chemical properties.
Use of the PAS will enable those who wish to commercialize a product containing graphene to compare the basic properties of graphene flake materials from different manufacturers who might use different precursors, manufacturing routes and post-treatments.
NOTE: This PAS does not cover related graphene forms such as graphene oxide (GO) graphene sheet and graphene hybrids. Nor does it cover the properties or performance of formulations and intermediates containing graphene flakes.
