Conductive silicone rubbers combine the original advantages of traditional silicone, such as flexibility, softness, touch comfort, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, with the added benefit of electrical conductivity. This unique combination enables their use in a wide range of advanced industrial, personal protective equipment, electronics, and medical applications. However, a key challenge is achieving stable, permanent, reliable conductivity without compromising the original performance and color variety of silicone.

The Role of TUBALL™ SWCNTs in Mitigating Expansion and Enhancing Conductivity of Electrode

A new video by Jordan Giesige on The Limiting Factor YouTube channel offers a clear and insightful explanation of how single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable unique advantages in lithium-ion batteries, particularly in silicon-rich anodes.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in work environments. It encompasses a wide range of items, including hand, body, head, and foot protection designed to mitigate risks from various hazards in the workplace. The specific types of PPE required depend on the nature of the work and the associated risks. But one critical feature that these items must often possess is anti-static properties.

Conductive polymers are already utilized in diverse industries and research continues in this area, with new applications emerging as our understanding continues to improve. A series of ESD standards for conductive polymers have been developed to ensure the safety and performance of these materials.

Conductivity in rollers and sleeves is required to prevent electrostatic charge and dust accumulation in packaging, printing, or converting processes, reducing production line stoppages and losses. Traditionally, carbon black and specific fillers were used for anti-static polyurethane rollers and sleeves, but the high concentrations of 10–15% of their total weight compromised strength, color, and product lifespan.

Aqueous dispersions of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with surfactant were studied using a combination of differential sedimentation and dynamic light scattering methods. When applied to elongated particles like SWCNTs, the differential sedimentation method makes it possible to measure their’ diameters in dispersions, while the dynamic light scattering method allows to measure their lengths.
