Applied Nanotech, Inc.

Long Lifetime:  Lifetimes exceeding 7,500 µA-hrs have been routinely documented on some PETtrace cyclotrons (depending on operating parameters).

Custom Size:  Foils are cut, packaged, and delivered to customer specifications. ANI offers graphene films with diameters up to 13 cm (up to 26 cm diameter available on request). Area densities of 0.1 to 1.0 mg/cm² are standard.  Higher mass density foils are available.  Thicker foils are made with mixture of graphene and carbon nanotubes.  Foils for GE, IBA, Siemens, ACSI, Sumitomo cyclotrons.

Competitive pricing: Large order discount rates available. 

Products Made in America under ISO-9001:2015 quality standards.

Foil Mounting Options:  Stripper foils can be delivered as bare foils, cut to size, or mounted on carbon or aluminum frames to customer specifications. 

Density:  The graphene foil density is approximately 1.5 – 2.0 gm/cc.

Electrical Resistance:  Measured sheet resistance of graphene films is in the range of 13 – 260 Ohm/sq and is linearly dependent on area mass density.

Thermal Conductivity:  The in-plane thermal conductivity of the graphene foil sample was found to be 1480 W/mK. Measurements of thermal conductivity were made using the ASTM E1461 laser flash method by NETZSCH Instruments North America LLC. The following parameters were used for the calculation of the thermal conductivity: bulk density of the graphene film sample 1.55 g/cm³, temperature 25°C and specific heat Cp 0.73 J/gK. The measured thermal diffusivity is 1308 mm²/s.

Key Advantages

• Near-100% material efficiency of incorporating the isotopes into the carbon matrix (i.e. very little waste of material in target fabrication). 
• Improved thermal conductivity. 
• Wide variety of targets can be made (elements, isotopes, oxides, carbides).Targets of rhenium, hafnium, tungsten, bismuth, chromium, boron, boron-10, iridium have been delivered using this approach.
