摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing large-diameter, low-density carbon nanotubes. The method uses a catalyst containing spherical α-alumina that is capable of controlling the growth of carbon nanotubes without deteriorating the quality of the carbon nanotubes. The use of the catalyst makes the carbon nanotubes highly dispersible.

Disclosed is a method for producing a sealing member for piping materials having excellent chlorine resistance, which includes a first step and a second step. The first step is a step wherein first carbon nanofibers produced by vapor deposition are subjected to an oxidation treatment, thereby obtaining second carbon nanofibers each having an oxidized surface. The second step is a step wherein carbon black having an average particle diameter of from 50 nm to 10 μm and the second carbon nanofibers are mixed into an ethylene-propylene rubber and dispersed in the ethylene-propylene rubber by a shearing force.

摘要:
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit high electrical and thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties, making them suitable fillers for composites. Their effectiveness as a filler is affected by their state of aggregation. Novel ordered helical wrapping of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been achieved on single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). This carbon nanotube composite not only thwarts CNT aggregation, but also may be successfully leveraged for applications such as electrical energy storage and mechanical reinforcement.
