These nanotubes are functionalized using a split-plasma process, which does not damage the material as can be the case with acid treatment. Functionalization aids both dispersion and suspension in fluids such as epoxies, oils or composite matrices. These nanotubes are supplied dry, in a nano-suitable airtight container. The material can be supplied in the form of a kit comprising three levels of functionalization (low, medium and high) in individual pots, to allow customers to evaluate which level is the most suited for their application. |
