  • Application of Carbon Nanotubes from Waste Plastics As Filler to Epoxy Resin Composite

    https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c07776 “Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanofillers to enhance the mechanical performance of polymers. Through catalytic conversion, waste plastics can be converted into CNTs, which could be an alternative to commercial CNTs (cCNTs). Exploring a practical application of waste-plastic-derived CNTs will largely promote the technology development related to waste plastic management and CNT production. In…

  • Feasibilities of producing high-value carbon nanotubes from waste plastics by spray pyrolysis

    https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaap.2022.105613 “Producing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from waste plastics could enhance the economic feasibility of the waste management process. Spray pyrolysis is a practical and promising method in this research area. However, the synthesis of CNTs by a spray pyrolysis method is highly reliant on a variety of parameters. Therefore, parameters, including the amount of waste plastics (polypropylene), the catalyst…

  • Application of carbon nanotube prepared from waste plastic to phase change materials: The potential for battery thermal management

    https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2022.10.003 “Carbon nanotube (CNT), has been demonstrated as a promising high-value product from thermal chemical conversion of waste plastics and securing new applications is an important prerequisite for large-scale production of CNT from waste-plastic recycling. In this study, CNT, produced from waste plastic through chemical vapor deposition (pCNT), was applied as a nanofiller in phase…
