| Multi Wall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) powder is produced via Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD). The carbon nanotubes are tube-shaped materials, exclusively composed of carbon atoms, having a nanometric diameter. The graphite layer can be visualized somewhat like a rolled-up wire with a continuous unbroken hexagonal mesh and carbon atoms at the apexes of the hexagons. With action of van der Waals forces, carbon nanotubes tend to cluster into bundles or agglomerates. Consequently, carbon nanotubes look like a black powder. At nanoscale, they have a spaghetti-like structure. Primary interest is in applications requiring low electrical percolation threshold such as high-performance electrostatic dissipative plastics or coatings. These carbon nanotubes are used in various applications in different markets: - Transportation (Automotive, Aeronautic, Boats)
- Electronics (Electronic packaging, EMI-shielding, sensors)
- Energy (Lithium-ion)
- Industrial applications (Oil&Gas, dynamic rubber parts, coatings, heating elements)
- Sporting goods
Benefits:- High electrical conductivity
- Good processability
- Retention of key mechanical properties
- Cost effective
- High recyclability in thermoplastics
- Cleanliness
- Flame retardancy (synergy in combination with other flame retardants)
- Thermal dissipation
- UV resistance
- Black tinting
