- Features
MechT dispersions combine Mechnano’s novel discrete carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with (meth)acrylated resins for use in UV-curable 3D printing and CASE applications. While CNTs have been available industrially for many years, Mechnano’s breakthrough technology allows for CNTs to be dispersed discretely and uniformly in resins, rather than agglomerated in clumps. This dispersion and functionalization technology unlocks the performance benefits of the CNTs, and enables improvements to electrical and thermal conductivity, impact resistance, tear resistance, adhesion, corrosion resistance and more, without degrading mechanical properties of the resin.
