Patent number: 10570016Abstract: The present invention relates to carbon nanotubes that are excellent in dispersibility and a process for producing the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes according to the present invention each comprise a wall that comprises a parallel portion and a narrowed portion having a tube outer diameter that is not more than 90% of a tube outer diameter of the parallel portion. Thus, the carbon nanotubes are readily dispersible owing to a high abundance ratio of easily-breaking portions.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: TODA KOGYO CORP.Inventors: Wataru Oda, Kazushige Kawai, Tomohiro Honda, Seiji Okazaki, Norimichi Nagai, Tetsuro Toda

Patent number: 7449199Abstract: The present invention relates to a nanostructural substance constituted from primary particles having a particle diameter of not more than 30 nm. In the nanostructural substance of the present invention, the primary particles have a small particle diameter, and a contact surface between the primary particles is small. In particular, since the nanostructural substance of the present invention has a large content of molecules existing at the surface thereof and, therefore, a high surface energy as compared to simple agglomerated particles, it is expected to more remarkably exhibit functions of the compound constituting the primary particles. In addition, titanium oxide particles constituted from the nanostructural substance comprising primary particles having a small particle diameter and a small contact area therebetween according to the present invention exhibit a high catalytic activity and can be suitably used, in particular, as a photocatalyst.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2005Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Toda Kogyo CorporationInventors: Tomohiro Honda, Tomoaki Urai, Katsuaki Kurata
