Kennedy Labs specializes in the production of 2D films, powders, and pastes, offering support to OEMs in the assessment and integration of these 2D materials into next-generation industrial components and systems. Standard 2D materials encompass graphene, nanosilver, hexagonal boron nitride, and gallium oxide. CVD films, powders, pastes, and dispersions are readily available as standard stocked items, and custom nanofabrication can be accessed for non-standard devices through Digi Key. Moreover, kits are provided to OEMs to explore variations among different 2D formats (film, powder, paste, etc.) currently available and to showcase innovative industrial applications.
Two-dimensional materials refer to thin sheets and powders made from graphene, which is an exceptionally strong and conductive material. Graphene film, in particular, has emerged as a promising replacement for the widely-used commercial product indium tin oxide that serves as a transparent conductor. This high-performance material is found in touchscreens, smartphones, solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and more. In addition to its use as a film, graphene is available in various forms such as ink, nanoplatelets, oxide beads, oxide paste, and oxide powder. Each variant offers unique properties that make it suited for specific applications. For instance, graphene nanoplatelets are particularly effective for reinforcing polymers, while oxide powder is often used in ceramics manufacturing. By offering such a diverse range of graphene formats, this category provides the versatility required to address a broad range of applications across multiple industries.
