Abstract: A CNS millbase dispersion, comprises a solvent and up to 0.5 wt % of at least one CNS-derived material dispersed in the millbase dispersion and selected from the group consisting of: carbon nanostructures, fragments of carbon nanostructures, fractured carbon nanotubes, and any combination thereof. The carbon nanostructures or fragments of carbon nanostructures include a plurality of multiwall carbon nanotubes that are crosslinked in a polymeric structure by being branched, interdigitated, entangled and/or sharing common walls, and the fractured carbon nanotubes are derived from the carbon nanostructures and are branched and share common walls with one another. A Brookfield viscosity of the dispersion measured at room temperature at 10 rpm is less than 3000 cP.

Abstract: An epoxy composition containing CNS-derived fragments provides conductivity and surface hardness. In one illustration, the epoxy composition includes carbon nanostructures, fragments of carbon nanostructures, fractured carbon nanotubes, elongated carbon strands, and/or dispersed carbon nanostructures dispersed in an epoxy resin. The epoxy composition may also include additional fillers or other additives.

Abstract: An aqueous hydrophobic silica dispersion includes a hydrophilic particulate silica, a hydrophobic particulate silica having a methanol number of at least 60, and a dispersant having at least one cationic or cationizable group and an HLB ratio of 2 to 20.
