Graphene Exfoliation and Dispersion Using High Pressure Homogenizers

Image
 What Is Graphene and Its Applications Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material valued for its excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. These properties make graphene ideal for energy storage, electronics, functional coatings, conductive inks, and advanced composite materials. Challenges in Graphene Production  Graphene tends to agglomerate due to strong van der Waals forces, forming clusters that reduce its effectiveness. Traditional dispersion methods such as high-shear mixers, ball mills, bead mills, and ultrasonic dispersers often struggle to balance efficiency, precision, and batch consistency. Common limitations include broad particle size distribution, limited layer control, contamination risk, high energy use, and difficulties in scaling up.

A Guide to Selecting the Perfect Homogenizer for Your Liquid Formulations

Image
  Creating effective and stable liquid formulations requires a uniform dispersion of active ingredients. Homogenization is a key technique used to achieve this consistency, and selecting the right homogenizer is critical to ensuring product quality and performance. In this article, we’ll walk through the key factors to consider when choosing a homogenizer that fits your specific application needs. Understanding Your Product’s Physical Properties The first step in selecting a homogenizer is to evaluate your product’s characteristics. Consider its viscosity, particle size, and the pressure required for processing. Higher viscosity products generally require greater pressure to break down particles effectively. Similarly, smaller particle sizes often demand higher pressure to achieve a uniform dispersion. The required operating pressure will ultimately depend on the specific properties of your formulation—some products need high-pressure treatment for optimal results, while others per...

Ease of Use and the Genizer Liposome HandExtruder

Image
  One of Genizer’s most compact pieces of equipment is the HandExtruder . The HandExtruder is popular in academic and small labs because of its small size and low dead volume. Researchers utilize it to get the desired size of liposome or lipid nanoparticle. Particle size can impact circulation time, uptake and stability. All of these are important aspects in different uses for liposomes. The affordability of the HandExtruder makes it an accessible entry point to liposome extrusion for academics. The HandExtruder has been cited in academic work in pharmaceutical research. One example is a study where our Handextruder, with 200nm membranes, was used to create liposomes to study cancer treatment ( link ). In another study, the HandExtruder was used in the preparation of vaccination nanoparticles ( link ). Beyond pharmaceuticals, reasearchers use the HandExtruder in diverse fields like agriculture ( link ), and protocell research ( link ). As time has gone on, we continue to learn from...
