Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
with volume resistivity of 108 Ω•cm without any significant
impact on viscosity or color.
Conclusions
Manufacturers can achieve targeted conductivity levels at extremely low loadings using single wall carbon nanotubes, providing a range of advantages. Single wall carbon nanotubes
enable color, smoother surface finishes, a reduction in thickness,
and provide the opportunity for secondary additives to grant
new properties. While previously out of reach for most manufacturers, OCSiAl has developed a scalable production process,
enabling a range of solutions based on single wall carbon nanotubes for ESD flooring and other industrial applications, including batteries, plastics, elastomers, coatings, and resins.
