MWCNTs Dispersion (>95%, Diameter: 20-30nm, Length: 5-15µm)

MWCNTs Dispersion

The dispersion of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) refers to the process of evenly distributing individual nanotubes throughout a solvent or matrix without them clumping together. Due to the high surface area and strong van der Waals forces between adjacent MWCNTs, these nanotubes tend to aggregate or form bundles, which can significantly reduce their performance in various applications. Therefore, effective dispersion is essential for unlocking the full potential of MWCNTs in a wide range of industries, as it ensures a uniform distribution of MWCNTs, thus maximizing their mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability.

Dispersion is a challenging yet crucial aspect of working with MWCNTs, as it directly affects their properties and the efficiency of their integration into composite materials, devices, or solutions. Several methods are employed to achieve the desired dispersion, including sonication, chemical functionalization, high shear mixing, and solvent-based techniques. In each case, the goal is to break apart the nanotube aggregates and distribute individual MWCNTs in a homogeneous manner, ensuring that the material properties are enhanced and the nanotubes are stabilized within the medium.

Effective dispersion is especially important in applications such as nanocomposites, electronic devices, drug delivery systems, and environmental remediation, where the performance of MWCNTs is directly tied to their ability to maintain their properties when dispersed in various matrices or solvents.
