Advanced Materials for safer, more sustainable living


NTeC™ Nanotube Hybrids Concept

• Grow Nanotubes directly on the surface of the other particles, encapsulating them with Nanotubes (“Carpet” method)

• Grow Nanotubes on metal oxide particles that are uniformly pre-mixed with the other particles prior to Nanotube synthesis (“Mesh” method)

Synthesize Nanotube Hybrids → Easy Dispersion → Enhanced Material (Mechanical, Electrical, Piezo etc..) Most Scalable, Affordable and Sustainable

NanoTube Hybrid Base Ingredient Enhanced Material

NTeC-B Nanotube Hybrid

Target Applications:

1. Conductive Additives for Battery Electrodes

2. Conductive Additives for Paints, Inks, Polymers

3. Reinforcing Additives for Tires

NTeC-B made by Mesh* method: 62% CNT / 23% Carbon Black / 15% Alumina**

*Can be made by Carpet method too.**For Battery applications, Alumina is removed via chemical purification


Experimental Results for Anode Materials

NTeC-B evaluated in commercial 18650 batteries, demonstrating:

• Much Lower internal resistance at very low Nano Tube loadings (0.5%)

• Equal performance at 50-75% lower loading (more active material = high total capacity)

• Stable long-term cycle life• Superior voltage retention at high-rate discharge (high power

for tools)• Improved charge retention at high rates (fast charge for EV)

Nanotube Hybrids for Greener Concrete

Target Applications:

1. Admixtures for Green and Smart

Concrete

2. Various Specialty Applications

NTeC-A Nanotube Hybrid made by Carpet method: 63% CNT / 37% Alumina

Drastically Lower Cost: From 100s of $/kg to ~$s/kg)


Experimental Results for Concrete

*In Collaboration with the Center for Advanced Construction Materials, University of Texas - Arlington

• Experiments with NTeC Nanotube Hybrid with 0.1 wt% of cement *

• SUPERIOR MECHANICAL REINFORCEMENT

• Short term Strength +41%

• Compressive Strength +22%

• Flexural Strength +89%

• Young Modulus +71%

• EASY DISPERSION: Hybrid structure allows Mechanical Mixing, reproducing results of Ultra-Sonification

• SELF SENSING: Electric conductivity with piezo – electric effect enabling accurate self-sensing of stresses for performance assurance

Cost and Ease of Dispersion makes Nanotube Hybrids the only “Scalable” Nanotechnology for Cement


Possibilities with Nanotube Hybrid enhanced Concrete

• GREEN with 50%+ Cement replacement by Fly Ash, Slag and other SCMs

• SMART with real-time in-situ Monitoring
