Carbon nanotube-based epoxy concentrates.


A new line of epoxy epoxy

Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing
 concentrates combine several industry-standard epoxy resins epoxy resins, group of synthetic resins used to make plastics and adhesives. These materials are noted for their versatility, but their relatively high cost has limited their use.  with multi-wall or single-wall nanotubes or carbon nanofibers Carbon nanofibers are cylindric nanostructures with graphene layers arranged as stacked cones, cups or plates. Carbon nanofibers with graphene layers wrapped into perfect cylinders are called carbon nanotubes. . These products reportedly can produce composites with significant increases in electrical and thermal conductivity as well as in mechanical strength.

The epoxy concentrates are the latest addition to the NanoSolve additives line from Zyvex Corp., Richardson, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. . The company's patented technology exfoliates and disperses carbon nano-materials and provides adhesion to the host resin. Tel: 877-ZYVEX99 * PT Direct: 118RT
