Abstract: A method for preparing a paste-like composition including carbon-based conductive fillers, at least one polymeric binder, at least one solvent, and at least one polymeric dispersant being different from the binder. Also, the paste that can result from said method, and to the uses thereof, in pure or diluted form, in particular for the manufacture of Li-ion batteries and super-capacitors.

Abstract: A masterbatch in agglomerated solid form including carbon nanofibers and/or nanotubes and/or carbon black, the content of which is between 15 wt % and 40 wt %, preferably between 20 wt % and 35 wt %, relative to the total weight of the masterbatch; at least one solvent; at least one polymer binder, which represents from 1 wt % to 40 wt %, preferably from 2 wt % to 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the masterbatch. Also, a concentrated masterbatch, characterized in that it is obtained by eliminating all or part of the solvent from the masterbatch described previously. Also, a process for preparing said masterbatches and to the uses of the latter, especially in the manufacture of an electrode or of a composite material for an electrode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a masterbatch in agglomerated solid form comprising: a) carbon nanofibers and/or nanotubes and/or carbon black, the content of which is between 15 wt % and 40 wt %, preferably between 20 wt % and 35 wt %, relative to the total weight of the masterbatch; b) at least one solvent; c) at least one polymer binder, which represents from 1 wt % to 40 wt %, preferably from 2 wt % to 30 wt % relative to the total weight of the masterbatch. The present invention also relates to a concentrated masterbatch, characterized in that it is obtained by eliminating all or part of the solvent from the masterbatch described previously. It also relates to a process for preparing said masterbatches and to the uses of the latter, especially in the manufacture of an electrode or of a composite material for an electrode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a composite material containing an elastomeric matrix and nanotubes, in particular carbon nanotubes, and also to the composite material thus obtained and to the use thereof for the manufacture of composite products. It also relates to the use, for conferring at least one electrical and/or mechanical and/or thermal property on an elastomeric matrix, of a masterbatch that can be obtained by kneading, in a compounding device, and then extruding, a polymer composition containing at least one oil and nanotubes, in particular carbon nanotubes, and optionally a tackifying resin.

Abstract: One subject of the present invention is a method for preparing a composite preferably containing 10 to 50% by weight of nanotubes, comprising: (a) the introduction, into a mixer, of nanotubes and at least one thermoplastic polymer, such as a homopolyamide or copolyamide, a polycarbonate, SBM or a PEG; (b) the melting of the thermoplastic polymer; and (c) the mixing of the molten thermoplastic polymer and the nanotubes, provided that aplasticizer is introduced upstream of, or in, the melting zone of the polymer. The invention also relates to the composite thus obtained and to its use in the manufacture of a composite product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing, in a co-kneader, a composite material containing a thermosetting elastomeric resin base and carbon nanotubes. It also relates to the composite material thus obtained and to its use for manufacturing composite products.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a composite material containing from 15% to 60% by weight of nanotubes, comprising: (a) introducing into a compounding device a liquid polymer composition comprising at least one thermosetting resin in the liquid state, nanotubes and optionally a rheology modifier, (b) mixing the polymer composition and the nanotubes within said device, to form a composite material, (c) recovering the composite material, optionally after conversion to an agglomerated solid physical form such as granules. The invention likewise relates to the composite material thus obtained, and also to its use for manufacturing a composite product.
