Method and system for feeding carbon nanotubes (TNCs) to a fluid to form a composite material.

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method of feeding carbon nano tubes ("CNTs") to a fluid wherein the CNTs are provided in the form of a powder of tangled agglomerates of CNTs, the powder of tangled agglomerates is fed to a dosing chamber, a pressure pulse is applied to the dosing chamber to expel the CNTs from an outlet of the dosing chamber in such a way that the agglomerates are at least partially disintegrated by the pressure and accompanying shearing forces, and the CNTs are fed into said fluid to distribute the CNTs in the fluid and form a composite material.
