What is SWCNT slurry?

SWCNT slurry is a liquid dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes that simplifies processing and provides stable, uniform conductivity in target materials.

How does SWCNT slurry improve conductivity compared with carbon black?

Because of the high aspect ratio and intrinsic conductivity of SWCNTs, target resistivity is achieved at much lower loading than with conventional carbon black.

Which applications commonly use SWCNT slurry?

Typical uses include ESD and antistatic plastics, conductive and shielding coatings, printed electronics and battery electrodes.

How do I process SWCNT slurry in my formulation?

The slurry can be incorporated with high-shear mixing, ultrasonic dispersion or standard compounding so that SWCNTs form a continuous conductive network.

What is the difference between SWCNT slurry and CNT powder?

Slurry is pre-dispersed and resists agglomeration, enabling lower CNT dosage and more reproducible conductivity than dry CNT powder.
