Mitsui Chemicals is launching a new grade of carbon nanotube reinforced thermoplastic poly-imide, Aurum CNT, with supplementary specific properties such as dust reduction and antistatic behaviour. Targeted applications are, for example, processing jigs for semiconductor or hard disk manufacturing, and parts for hard disk drives.

Concerning carbon nanotube-reinforced silicon nitride matrices, only a few reports have so far been published [19]. In this case, hot isostatic pressing has been used for composite processing. The carbon nanotubes remained in the microstructure only under low pressures (2 MPa) they connect the silicon nitride grains and produce a 15-37% improvement of the mechanical properties as compared with other carbon-filled samples (Fig. 19.11). Increase of pressure... 

Carbon nanotubes can be used in reinforcing polymer matrix composites in two ways a) as the sole reinforcing phase (CNTRP), or b) as an additional reinforcing phase in conjunction with carbon fibers (CF+CNT) in a hybrid composite. Carbon nanotubes reinforced plastics (CNTRP) can be prepared by several methods, as described in section 15.1.3. Both CFRP and CNTRP composite structures can be joined using structural adhesives but machining and drilling are difficult as a result of the widely different properties of their constituents.
