Properties of Carbon Nanotube (CNT)

CNTs have the following features.

1.Electrical conductivity

CNTs can be used as a conductive additive in batteries or conductive coatings.

2.CNTs at nano-scale tube structure are firmly agglomerated

Surface area is increased by exfoliation of nanotubes, improving conductivity.

Dispersion of Carbon Nanotube

Star Burst MINI homogeneously disperses agglomerated CNTs without excess damage of its tube structure.

Operation Conditions

Dispersion of CNTs with Star Burst MINI under the following conditions.

  • Raw materials: CNT slurry with a concentration of 3wt%
  • Processing equipment: HJP-25001
  • Chamber: Ball collision chamber(φ0.10)
  • Pressure: 245MPa
  • Number of passes: 3

Comparison Before and After Processing

We compared the CNTs before and after treatment. The treated CNTs have improved dispersibility.

Processing Equipment

The device used this time is Star Burst MINI.
