Abstract: The present invention is directed to additive manufacturing compositions and methods for producing additive manufacturing composite blends with oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes with dispersion agents bonded to at least one sidewall of the oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes. Such compositions are especially useful when radiation cured, sintered or melt fused.

Abstract: Provided are compositions of bundles or clumps of a reaggregated plurality of discrete carbon nanotubes with an additive whereupon the bundles or clumps disaggregate during a fabrication process that uses less than 10,000 ppm of aqueous or non-aqueous solvent.

Abstract: High-surface area carbon nanotubes having targeted, or selective, oxidation levels and/or content on the interior and exterior of the tube walls are claimed. Such carbon nanotubes can have little to no inner tube surface oxidation, or differing amounts and/or types of oxidation between the tubes' inner and outer surfaces. Additionally, such high-surface area carbon nanotubes may have greater lengths and diameters, creating useful mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.

Abstract: Dry liquid concentrates allow carbon nanotubes to be dispersed in various mediums under standard composite processing conditions. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes can enhance the physical properties of the resulting material, such as, for example, improving the anti-corrosive properties of thermosets if present, and/or improving electrical properties of transitional metal oxide composites.

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes can enhance the physical properties of the resulting rubber material in many ways, including creating a more resilient rubber which resists abrasion, tearing, and chipping.

Abstract: The present application pertains to dispersions comprising oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes and high-surface area carbon nanotubes. The oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes comprise an interior and exterior surface, each surface comprising an interior surface oxidized species content and an exterior surface oxidized species content. The interior surface oxidized species content differs from the exterior surface oxidized species content by at least 20%, and as high as 100%. The high-surface area nanotubes are generally single-wall nanotubes. The BET surface area of the high-surface area nanotubes is from about 550 m2/g to about 1500 m2/g according to ASTM D6556-16. The aspect ratio is at least about 500 up to about 6000. The dispersions comprise from about 0.1 to about 30% by weight nanotubes based on the total weight of the dispersion.

Abstract: This present invention relates to oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes in dispersions, especially for use in epoxy compositions. The dispersions can include materials such as elastomers, thermosets and thermoplastics or aqueous dispersions of open-ended carbon nanotubes with additives. A further feature of this invention relates to the development of a dispersion of oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes with epoxy that are resistant to weather and/or crack propagation.

Additionally, such high-surface area carbon nanotubes or their assemblages may have greater lengths and diameters, creating useful mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.
