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.

Q: 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.

Graphene Nanoplatelets — Plate-like graphene material for conductive and reinforced composites

Short answer: Graphene nanoplatelets are platelet-shaped, few-layer graphene materials produced from graphite exfoliation. They are used to introduce conductivity, thermal transport, and mechanical reinforcement into composite systems. Their effectiveness depends on platelet thickness, lateral size, and dispersion quality, and they are not single-layer graphene or carbon black.

ITO alternative- Nano SrVO₄

Kela Materials presents Strontium Vanadate (SrVO₄), a new-generation transparent conductive material considered a promising alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO). ITO has dominated transparent conductive films for over 60 years, but indium prices continue to rise, making cost and supply increasingly challenging for display and semiconductor industries. SrVO₄ offers high visible-light transparency while providing good electrical conductivity and stability, making it a strong candidate for next-generation display materials, optoelectronic devices and transparent electronic components. Since 2015, multiple international research groups have identified SrVO₄-based systems as potential substitutes for ITO due to their lower cost, easier processing and excellent optical–electrical performance.
