#composites, #sustainability, #energyefficiency, #renewableenergy, #fibers, #resins Sorry about the rock and roll reference here, but there is so much hype about carbon nanotubes, I thought I would set the record a little bit more in actual applications of these interesting little beasties without all of the hyperbole that often accompanies any mention of them. First, what are these things? If you remember some of my earlier posts when I talk about “organic carbon” and the

#composites, #sustainability, #recycling, #hardplastics, #carbon_nanotubes I came across a company at work that one of our Senior VP’s ran across at a conference. This company has been able to recycle plastics that have little to no value and turn them into high value products in carbon particulate like carbon nanotubes and hydrogen gas. They apparently use a microwave source to get the process energy to do this. Polyolefin / Carbon Paticulate Composite Plastic Pellets (Ce

#composites, #graphene, #iso, #standards, #sustainability I have seen some interesting things about graphene lately published in places...
