What A*STAR's electron
microscope actually saw

The Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) inspected our graphene powder and graphene-in-oil samples by secondary electron microscopy (SEM), using the powder as a reference. Equipment: Hitachi SU8220, cold field-emission gun, 5kV accelerating voltage.

PowderTwo-dimensional sheet structure, agglomerated, micrometer size — the raw, unprocessed reference material, imaged at 40k–50k magnification.
In oilNanoplates distributed uniformly through the oil, measured at 41, 53, 73 and 110 nanometers — tens to hundreds of nanometers, not clumps.
In mineral oilBy contrast, most plates agglomerate into micrometer-size clusters in plain mineral oil, with only a few retaining a clean 2D sheet form — the dispersion quality depends on the carrier oil.

Why nanoplate size matters

Small enough to work,
stable enough to stay

A graphene sheet that's too large clumps and settles; one that's well dispersed stays suspended in the oil film and can slide between contact surfaces without scoring them.

01

Nanoplate dispersion

41–110nm plates measured directly from SEM images, distributed evenly rather than clustered.

02

Low-friction sliding

Graphene's layered lattice shears easily along its plane, letting metal surfaces glide rather than grind.

03

Boundary-layer protection

Where oil film breaks down under load, nanoplates fill microscopic asperities and reduce metal-to-metal contact.

04

Compatible with base oils

Tested and blended into fully synthetic 5W-30 oil without disrupting the base oil's own viscosity chemistry.
