Published purpose

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.
