Abstract: A pigment is dispersed in a solvent by mixing the pigment nanoparticles with clay in a layered or platelet form and mixing the resultant mixture with the solvent. The method is based on geometric inhomogeneity and mutually exclusive aggregation. The layered or platelet clay having a high aspect ratio is provided to hinder aggregation of the pigment nanoparticles. The pigment nanoparticles can be stably dispersed in a matrix containing an organic solvent and water without aggregation again.

Abstract: A CNT-PI complex primarily includes polyimide (PI) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) dispersed in the polyimide. The method for producing the CNT-PI complex first disperses carbon nanotubes in a solvent by adding a dispersant and using an ultrasonic oscillator. Then the carbon nanotubes dispersion is mixed with polyamic acid to give a CNT-PI dispersion. The CNT-PI dispersion is then dried to form a film or layer of the CNT-PI complex. The dispersant used in this invention is an ionic liquid including organic cations and inorganic anions. The produced CNT-PI complex possesses good electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and presents better networked structures and electrical conductivity.

Abstract: A carbon nanocapsule-layered silicate hybrid is provided. Layered silicates (platelet-shaped) as a dispersant are mixed with carbon nanocapsules (sphere-shaped) by a physical process. The physically mixed hybrid exhibits a homogeneous dispersion phase due to the geometric shape inhomogeneity factor. Aggregation of carbon nanocapsules is thus avoided. The hybrid can be dispersed in a polar or non-polar solvent with a solid content of about 0.01-30 wt %.
