Abstract
The present invention is directed to additive manufacturing compositions and methods for producing additive manufacturing composite blends with oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes with dispersion agents bonded to at least one sidewall of the oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes. Such compositions are especially useful when radiation cured, sintered or melt fused.
Claims17
An additive manufacturing dispersion wherein the dispersion comprises at least one portion of a cross-linkable moiety, and oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes with a bonded dispersing agent on at least one sidewall of the oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes wherein the oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes are present in the range of greater than zero and up to about 30% by weight based on the total weight of the dispersion and a plurality of the carbon nanotubes present in the dispersion are discrete.
An additive manufacturing dispersion for at least partially encapsulating electronic components, wherein the dispersion comprises:
- at least one portion of a cross-linkable moiety;
- and
- oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes:
- wherein the oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes comprise a dispersing agent bonded on a sidewall of the oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes;
- and
- wherein the oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes are present in the range of greater than zero and up to about 30% by weight based on the total weight of the dispersion;
- and
- wherein a plurality of the carbon nanotubes present in the dispersion are discrete.
