Abstract
Process for the preparation of stable suspensions and dispersions of carbon nanotubes, and dispersions prepared by the process.
Claims9
Process for the preparation of a dispersion containing carbon nanotubes, which comprises the following steps:
- 1. preparation of a mixture of dispersing agent, dispersing aid and, optionally, carbon nanotubes,
- 2. if carbon nanotubes have been added in step 1, optional pre-dispersion of the mixture from step 1,
- 3. dispersion of the mixture from step 1 or of the pre-dispersed mixture from step 2, wherein the dispersion is carried out using a high-pressure homogeniser and wherein all or part of the mixture is guided in a loop during the dispersion, wherein further CNT agglomerates are added continuously or discontinuously to the mixture during the dispersion, an initial dispersion being obtained,
- 4. further dispersion of the initial dispersion obtained in step 3 in a high-pressure homogeniser, optionally in loop mode, a final dispersion being obtained.
