  • Method of making carbon nanotube dispersions for the enhancement of the properties of fluids
    Patent number: 8951942
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of carbon nanotube modified fluids such, that the dispersion of nanotubes in such fluids, exampled by those which are oil based is enhanced through the combined use of mechanical, sonic and ultrasonic devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2015
    Inventors: Martin Pick, Krzysztof Kazimiers Koziol, Alan Hardwick Windle
  • ENHANCEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF CARBON NANOTUBE FIBRES AND FILMS
    Publication number: 20130028830
    Abstract: A method of increasing the density of carbon nanotube fibres or films containing carbon nanotubes to at least 50% w/w, said method including the steps of exposing the fibre or film to suitable density enhancing agent.
