  • Publication number: 20140087185
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for the preparation of a reinforced thermoset polymer composite, said thermoset polymer composite comprising coated fibres, the coating being used as a vehicle for the introduction of carbon nanotubes into the thermoset polymer, the preparation of said reinforced thermoset polymer composite comprising the following steps: providing fibres; preparing a coating comprising carbon nanotubes and a polymeric binder; applying said coating to said fibres to obtain coated fibres; impregnating said coated fibres with a precursor of a thermoset polymer and letting part of the carbon nanotubes transfer from the coating into the precursor of the thermoset polymer; curing said precursor containing the coated fibres and the transferred carbon nanotubes to achieve the reinforced thermoset polymer composite.

  • Publication number: 20130178402
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a lubricant composition further including: (a) at least one synthetic base oil and optionally at least one additive and (b) carbon nanotubes, the composition having a weight percentage of carbon nanotubes (b) relative to the total amount of base oils (a) of the composition of between 0.15 and 3.50%, the ratio between the weight percentage of carbon nanotubes, and the apparent density of the powder of carbon nanotubes, expressed in g/1 and measured according to the standard ISO 60-ASTM D1895 being greater than 102.
