The nanoplatelets of graphene come under a different category of carbon particles which has multifunctional properties. One can find any ratio of such nanoplatelets based on their morphology. The morphology and unique size of the particles will prove it to be effective. In addition to this, the graphitic properties make them good conductors of thermal and electricity.

Different to the other additives in regard to the properties, the graphene nanoplatelets have the ability to enhance mechanical properties, like the strength, stiffness and surface hardness of matrix material. They include small masses of the graphene, which can work in place of nano clays, carbon fiber, nano tubes, and few other compounds. If these compounds are added in to plastics, then graphene particles are less permeable and thermally conductive with respect to the gasses.

These are very much useful in advanced composites, in super or ultra capacitors, and in the advanced batteries. They are even used in the electronic circuits and also in special coatings. Some other uses of graphene nanoplatelets are in lubricants, strong packaging, and sensitive sensors and in sensitized molecules.
