A simple way of improving graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) for their incorporation into a polymer matrix by H. Persson, Y. Yao, U. Klement, R. W. Rychwalski

“…Thus bulk separation of thin and thick graphene stacks takes place. The polystyrene-coated thin graphene stacks are studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy in two ways: (i) we calculate the number of graphene layers forming thin graphene stacks, and (ii) we employ Selected Area Diffraction to confirm our image analysis results by checking the intensity ratio (1100) and (2100) deflections in the diffraction patterns. …”
