• Scalable Process for Post-coating CNS Flake
– Density Easily Tailored to Achieve Flow of CNS for
Compounding
• Low Polymer Weight Post-Coat Targeted to Maintain CNS Network
• 0.13 gm/ml Achieved with ~10% Polymer Post-Coat

3 Highly-Entangled, Cross-Linked CNS Network
• Leveraging CNS to Improve Base Material Properties
– Mechanical Properties
– EMI Shielding
– Electrical Conductivity
– Thermal Conductivity
– Radiation Absorption
• CNS Network Yields Safety Discriminator vs. CNT
– Less Likely to Release Individual CNTs
– Reduced Risk of Respirable, Durable Fiber
