Electrical Performance vs. Standard Dispersions

These numbers come from actual measurements made at NASA JPL — not theoretical predictions. Every data point is from the peer-reviewed 2020 Electroanalysis publication evaluating GO-CNT nanocarbon films for space mission instrumentation.

The Surfactant Problem in Conductive Coatings

Conductivity in nanocarbon films depends on uninterrupted electron pathways. Anything that interrupts those pathways — surfactant residues, agglomerate voids, damaged nanocarbon structures — directly degrades performance.

❌ Standard Conductive Dispersions

  • Surfactant residue forms insulating barriers between nanocarbon particles — breaking the conductive network
  • Agglomerated particles create voids in the film with zero conductivity contribution
  • Acid-damaged CNTs lose aspect ratio — shorter tubes can't bridge between electrodes
  • High resistance (10+ MΩ) limits sensitivity in sensor applications
  • Signal drift (1900 µV/s) makes precise electrochemical measurement impossible
  • Batch variability means calibration fails when switching to a new production lot

✅ Flexiphene™ Conductive Films

  • Zero surfactants: continuous electron pathways throughout the film with no insulating gaps
  • Uniform nanocarbon distribution — every square micron of film contributes to conductivity
  • Intact high-aspect-ratio nanotubes and graphene sheets bridge across the full electrode area
  • 0.09 MΩ resistance enables high-sensitivity detection in electrochemical systems
  • 20 µV/s drift — stable enough for long-term in-situ monitoring and space-mission instrumentation
  • 90% batch yield enables production-scale manufacturing with consistent lot-to-lot performance

Conductive Films FAQ

What substrates can Flexiphene™ films be deposited on?
Flexiphene™ dispersions can be deposited on a wide range of substrates including silicon, glass, ITO, carbon, polymer films (PET, PDMS, PI), and metal electrodes. Common deposition methods include drop casting, spin coating, spray coating, and screen printing. Our team can advise on the optimal deposition protocol for your substrate and target film thickness.
Can Flexiphene™ replace ITO in flexible electronics?
Flexiphene™ nanocarbon films offer mechanical flexibility that ITO lacks — ITO cracks under repeated bending, while nanocarbon films maintain conductivity. The trade-off is that nanocarbon films achieve high conductivity but may have higher sheet resistance than ITO for applications requiring extremely low resistance. Our materials scientists can discuss whether Flexiphene™ meets the specific resistance requirements for your flexible electronics application.
How does the 4-month stability data apply to my application?
The 83% retention at 4 months was measured under controlled laboratory conditions as part of the NASA JPL space mission evaluation — conditions designed to simulate extended in-situ deployment. For most terrestrial applications with environmental protection (encapsulation, inert atmosphere storage), stability would be equivalent or better. We can discuss your specific storage and operating conditions and their likely impact on long-term performance.
What concentration do I need for a conductive film application?
The NASA JPL validation was performed with GO-CNT SC-ISE formulations. The optimal concentration for your conductive film depends on your target sheet resistance, film thickness, and deposition method. Sample kits include application-specific formulation guidance. Our technical team supports your first deposition trials to help dial in the right parameters for your system.
