New Perspectives in SWCNT Applications: Tuball SWCNTs. Part 2. New Composite Materials through Augmentation with Tuball.

Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: In the first part [1] we discussed the structural and physicochemical properties of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with the emphasis on TUBALL™ produced by OCSiAl. This part focuses on the applications of Tuball capitalizing on its unique properties. We start with discussing the methods for dispersing SWCNTs in various media suitable for maximizing their positive effect on the mechanical, electrical, and other functional properties of the composites. It follows by the examples of applications of Tuball in materials for batteries, thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomers, most of which employ commercially produced liquid and semisolid dispersions offered by OCSiAl. This demonstrates the real versatility of Tuball augmentation for improvement of electrical and mechanical properties of various materials and should stimulate its wide application.
