Graphene nanotubes for glass fiber filled PPS compounds with maintained mechanical properties and required processability

Graphene nanotubes for glass fiber filled PPS compounds with maintained mechanical properties and required processability

TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes in the form of TUBALL™ MATRIX 821 beta and TUBALL™ MATRIX 808 are a versatile conductive additive that has been specifically designed to provide superior electrical conductivity to thermoplastic materials, while retaining mechanical properties and providing acceptable injectability to 30–50 wt.% glass fiber filled PPS compounds.

Benefits provided by TUBALL™ nanotubes for GF-filled PPS: 

  • Low dosage starting from 0.1 wt.% TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes to obtain conductive performance
  • Enables a new combination of GF-filled PPS properties in comparison to standard conductive agents
  • Maintains a good balance of mechanical properties
  • Keeps the MFI level within an acceptable range for 30–50 wt.% glass fiber filled compounds
  • Permanent, stable, and uniform electrical resistivity without “hot spots”
  • Stable performance reducing the number of out-of-spec parts
  • Good processability and easy handling

*Dosages may vary depending on the formulation, processing, and products.

CONDUCTIVITY, PROCESSABILITY, MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE

Graphene nanotubes’ unique morphology allows them to create a dense conductive network inside thermoplastic compounds at low loading rates—starting from 0.1 wt.% in the total compound.

The use of TUBALL™ MATRIX preserves key mechanical properties and provides acceptable injectability.

Case: 2 wt.% TUBALL™ MATRIX 821 beta (0.2 wt.% TUBALL™ nanotubes) in 30 wt.% glass fiber filled PPS.

*OCSiAl internal study. Results may vary depending on the formulation, processing, and products.
