FY 2021-22 · 2021-06-16
Summary
Carbon Corp utilizes state of the art technology to convert the carbon dioxide (CO2) to highly valuable carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs have been shown to improve the properties of many existing materials such as cement, electronics, metal alloys, and polymers. The aim of this project is to utilize the inhouse made CNTs to create advanced polymer materials.
Our R&D team is comprised of scientists, engineers, and trade experts in order to apply CNTs to existing materials to improve their properties. The project will focus on embedding CNTs into polymers. This facilitates the synergistic combination of flexibility, low density and facile processing of conventional polymers with outstanding mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of CNTs.

Description (French)
Carbon Corp utilise une technologie de pointe pour convertir le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) en nanotubes de carbone (NTC) de grande valeur. Il a été démontré que les NTC améliorent les propriétés de nombreux matériaux existants tels que le ciment, l'électronique, les alliages métalliques et les polymères. L'objectif de ce projet est d'utiliser les NTC fabriqués en interne pour créer des matériaux polymères avancés. Notre équipe de R-D est composée de scientifiques, d'ingénieurs et d'experts commerciaux afin d'appliquer les NTC aux matériaux existants pour améliorer leurs propriétés. Le projet se concentrera sur l'intégration des NTC dans les polymères. Ce procédé facilite la combinaison synergique de la flexibilité, de la faible densité et de la facilité de traitement des polymères conventionnels avec des propriétés mécaniques, thermiques et électriques exceptionnelles des NTC.
