SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE-CERAMIC COMPOSITE AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF

Title:

SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE-CERAMIC COMPOSITE AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2008195607

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a composite of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and a ceramic support (e.g. silica) comprising a small amount of catalytic metal (e.g. cobalt and molybdenum).

The invention relates to a composite of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and the ceramic support (e.g. silica) comprising a small amount of catalytic metal (e.g. cobalt and molybdenum). The particle comprising the metal and ceramic support is used as the catalyst for the production of the single-walled carbon nanotubes. Use of precipitated and fumed silica results in the nanotube-ceramic composite which may synergistically improve the properties of both the ceramic (e.g. silica) and the single-walled carbon nanotube. Addition of these composites to polymers may improve their properties.
