  • Nanocarbon-reinforced polymer composite and method of making
    Patent number: 8048341
    Abstract: A method of making a polymer composite from a mixture of a polymeric material, carbon nanofibers, and nano-scale particles is provided. The carbon nanofibers are less than about 1 micrometer in diameter, and the nano-scale particles are shorter in length than the carbon nanofibers. The nano-scale particles are selected from nano-scale carbon additives, non-conductive nano-clays, nano-scale conductive metallic additives, or combinations thereof. The components are mixed to form a polymer composite. A polymer composite having a resistivity of less than about 107 ohm-cm is also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2011
    Assignee: Applied Sciences, Inc.
    Inventors: David Burton, Patrick Lake, Carla Leer R. Castro
