The compressed density of the grapheme carbon particles is then calculated from this measured thickness according to the following equation:

- thermally produced grapheme carbon particles are particularly suitable for producing grapheme carbon particles having relatively low thickness and relatively high aspect ratio in combination with relatively low oxygen content, as described above. Moreover, such methods are currently believed to produce a substantial amount of grapheme carbon particles having a substantially curved, curled, creased or buckled morphology (referred to herein as a "3D" morphology), as opposed to producing predominantly particles having a substantially two-dimensional (or flat) morphology.

- the coatings of the present invention may include additional components conventionally added to coating compositions, such as cross-linkers, pigments, tints, flow aids, defoamers, dispersants, solvents, UV absorbers, catalysts and surface active agents.
- the coating compositions are substantially free of certain components such as polyalkyleneimines, graphite, or other components.
- polyalkyleneimines for example, the term “substantially free of polyalkyleneimines” means that polyalkyleneimines are not purposefully added, or are present as impurities or in trace amounts, e.g., less than 1 weight percent or less than 0.1 weight percent. Coatings of the present invention have been found to have good adhesion properties without the necessity of adding polyalkyleneimines.
- the term “substantially free of graphite” means that graphite is not purposefully added, or is present as an impurity or in trace amounts, e.g., less than 1 weight percent or less than 0.1 weight percent.
- graphite in minor amounts may be present in the coatings, e.g., less than 5 weight percent or less than 1 weight percent of the coating. If graphite is present, it is typically in an amount less than the graphene, e.g., less than 30 weight percent based on the combined weight of the graphite and graphene, for example, less than 20 or 10 weight percent.
- the coating compositions of the present invention may be made by various standard methods in which the grapheme carbon particles are mixed with the film-forming resins and other components of the coating compositions.

- the coatings of the present invention possess desirable mechanical properties, increased IR absorption, increased "jetness”, increased thermal conductivity, decreased permeability to small molecules like water and oxygen may also be advantageous to these same coatings.
- the following examples are intended to illustrate various aspects of the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
- the electrical conductivities of coatings containing thermally produced grapheme carbon particles were compared with similar coatings containing commercial graphene particles, and no such particles.
- the coating compositions were made with aqueous latex particles that are stable in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent.
- NMP N-methyl pyrrolidone
- the acrylic latex particles are crosslmked and are epoxy functionalized, but need not be functionalized to work.
- the latex forms a film at elevated temperatures and serves as the binder to hold the film together.
- Thermally produced grapheme carbon particles, labeled PPG A and PPG B were produced by the thermal plasma production method utilizing methane as a precursor material disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 8,486,364.
- the thermally produced PPG A and PPG B grapheme carbon particles have a surface area of about 250 - 280 m7g and are about 100-200 nm in size.
- samples Prior to the addition of the grapheme carbon particles to the coating solution, samples are diluted to 0.25 - 2.5 weight percent in NMP solvent and horn sonicated for 15 min.
- the PPG B sample was dispersed with double the sonication energy per unit graphene in comparison with the PPG A sample.
- the final coating composition is then made by mixing latex, NMP solvent, and the pre-dispersed grapheme carbon particles.
- Samples are then bath sonicated for 15 minutes. Following sonication, samples are passed through a 150 mesh filter and then drawn down on glass substrates at a 6 mil wet film build. The wet films are flashed at room temperature for 15 minutes, followed by an oven cure at 100 °C for 30 minutes.
- Fig. 1 graphically illustrates the conductivities of the coatings containing the thermally produced PPG A and PPG B grapheme carbon particles at various loadings, in comparison with the other commercial grapheme carbon particles and a control coating containing no such particles, which measured no conductivity.
- the PPG A and PPG B particles are about an order of magnitude smaller than the M5 particles, they produce similar electrical conductivities. As the particles get smaller, the resistance should increase in the film at a similar loading, i.e., comparing the M5 with PDR, which is a ⁇ 10 micron average particle size vs. 5 micron and the C750 which is 1.5 microns.
- the thermally produced graphene particles provide a lower resistance coating.
- thermally produced grapheme carbon particles may be due to the extremely low oxygen content of the thermally produced grapheme carbon particles and the fact that their edge functionality may be limited to C-H bonds vs. C-O, C-N, bonds observed in commercial graphene samples, producing a lower particle-particle contact resistance for the thermally produced graphene.
- the thermally produced graphene may also be inherently more conductive because of its turbostratic crystal structure.
- Coatings comprising one type of commercially available grapheme carbon particles alone, and in combination with other grapheme carbon particles (including thermally produced grapheme carbon particles), were produced and measured for electrical conductivity.
- the coating compositions were made with 10 weight percent grapheme carbon particles: either xGnP C-300 (from XG Sciences having an average particle size of 1.5 micron, thickness of about 2 nm, and BET surface area of 300 square meters per gram), xGnP C-750 (from XG Sciences as described in Example 1), xGnP M-25 (from XG Sciences having an average particle size of 25 microns, thickness of 6-8 nm, and BET surface area of 120-150 square meters per gram), or PPG thermally produced grapheme carbon particles, with 1.67 weight percent ethyl cellulose (Aqualon, Ashland), and with 88.33 weight percent deionized water.
- coating compositions were dispersed by adding 70g of each into 8 ounce glass jars with 220g of SEPR Ermil 1.0-1.25mm milling media. The samples in the jars were shaken for 4 hours using a Lau disperser (Model DAS 200, Lau, GmbH). The milling media was then filtered off from the coating compositions.
- each of these mixtures as well as the coating composition with only xGnP M-25 were applied as 1-2 mm wide lines in a serpentine circuit pattern to a 2 x 3 inch glass slide (Fisherbrand, Plain, Precleaned) using a dispensing jet (PICO valve, MV-100, Nordson, EFD) and a desktop robot (2504N, Janome) and then dried in an oven at 212 °F for 30 minutes. Electrical conductivity of each coated sample was determined by first measuring the resistance of the serpentine circuit vs. the length of the circuit line. Then, the cross- sectional area of the serpentine lines was measured using a stylus profilometer (Dektak).
- Fig. 2 shows that small additions of other commercially available grapheme carbon particles did not increase the conductivity as significantly (only about 50% increase for xGnP C-300 and only about 90% increase for xGnP C-750).
- any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges subsumed therein.
- a range of "1 to 10" is intended to include all sub-ranges between (and including) the recited minimum value of 1 and the recited maximum value of 10, that is, having a minimum value equal to or greater than 1 and a maximum value of equal to or less than 10.
