  • Patent number: 9978475
    Abstract: Provided by the present invention is a conductive resin composition which has, by adding small amount of a carbon nanotube thereto, high conductivity and superior processability including moldability while keeping original physical properties owned by the thermoplastic resin itself. Provided is a method for producing a conductive resin composition, that is, a method for producing a conductive resin composition which contains a carbon nanotube and a thermoplastic resin, wherein the method contains following steps of (A) and (B); namely, (A) a step of mixing and dispersing the carbon nanotube, a solvent, and the thermoplastic resin, thereby obtaining a carbon nanotube resin mixture, and (B) a step of removing the solvent while kneading the carbon nanotube resin mixture. Provided further is a conductive resin composition obtained by the said production method.
    Type: Grant
