General description

Inkjet printable graphene dispersion is a promising candidate for organic and printed electronics in a variety of applications such as sensors, conductors, supercapacitors etc. Graphene-based functional devices and films can be designed by the inkjet printing process, by a controlled expulsion of the fluid from the nozzle.[1]
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product belongs to Enabling category of greener alternatives thus aligns with "Design for energy efficency". Graphene inks are highly conductive, low cost and super flexible.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. ¿Cuál es la concentración de grafeno que tiene? ¿Y la de etilcelulosa?

    1 answer
    1. The ink is 2.4 wt.% (solid (graphene and ethyl cellulose) in cyclohexanone/terpineol) but the ratio of graphene to ethyl cellulose is not quantified or assayed.

      Helpful?

  4. Is this suitable for bioprinters. The 5 ml of ink does it come in a 5 ml syringe ready for printing?

    1 answer
    1. This product is packaged in a 5 mL glass vial but it will need to be transferred to a syringe or other appropriate receptacle prior to being used in bioprinting applications.
