has developed a line of carbon nanotube (CNT) concentrates that improve tensile strength and stiffness by 20-100% while maintaining impact strength.
The masterbatches contain 15% CNTs by weight. They can be let down in the associated carrier materials with loadings of 2-7% by weight in the final compound. Results, including improvements in electrical resistance, impact strength, stiffness and strength, vary by polymer and loading.
