[nanoPost] Electrically conductive automotive parts using carbon nanotubes

Company Germany

The company produce fairly large quantities of high-quality carbon nanotubes in a cost-effective process, thanks to the use of a newly developed catalyst.

A kilogram of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used to cost up to €1,000, but now, as a result of its targeted research and development activities, the company has managed to significantly lower the price-per-kilogram of its innovative nanotube product, thereby enabling the development of new, industrial applications.

For example, the automotive industry will soon be able to reduce the cost of painting plastic fenders: adding just minimal amounts of the company's product makes the semi-finished parts electrically conductive, and this new material property supports more efficient and environmentally friendly coating processes based on countercharged, solvent-free powder coating particles.

Another conceivable application is the production of antistatic switch housings for machines, which help to avoid dangerous spark discharges in highly sensitive safety areas.
