Conductive carbon additives, a readily available opportunity to improve lithium-ion cell manufacturing and performance
When people think about lithium-ion batteries, they think about how these devices deliver electricity. Certainly, the materials used to power them are inherently electrically conductive, right? As it turns out, it is nowhere near as much as you might expect.
Carbon Black Prolongs the Life of Plastic Pipe
Access to safe water is the most basic human need for health and well-being. Demand for water is rising owing to local water shortages, rapid population growth, and increasing water needs from the agriculture, industry, and energy sectors.
Carbon Black’s Influence on Cut and Chip Resistance in Tire Treads
The circular economy is among the top three initiatives in terms of impact on sustainability, along with recycling of waste and end-of-life disposal. Automotive companies and regulators are planning far reaching initiatives to align with the circular economy.
Carbon Black 101
What is carbon black? A vital component in making many of the products we use every day stronger, deeper in color and longer lasting, carbon black in its pure form is a fine black powder, essentially composed of elemental carbon.
Circularity Profoundly Affects the Auto Industry – Choice of Black Pigment
The circular economy is among the top three initiatives in terms of impact on sustainability, along with recycling of waste and end-of-life disposal. Automotive companies and regulators are planning far reaching initiatives to align with the circular economy.
Achieving High Electrical Resistivity in Rubber Compounds
One often associates carbon black with electrical conductivity, and the presence of carbon black in rubber insulating compounds has been regarded as detrimental in this aspect. But what if we need carbon black performance properties but also high electrical resistivity?
Disentangling the Definitions of “Circular Economy”, “Sustainability”, and “Eco-Friendly”
While industries and individuals are aligned in their goal to protect the planet for future generations, there still seems to be confusion on what the meaning of the commonly used phrases – eco-friendly, sustainable, and circular − and to understand their overall impact on our planet. I will spend some time to untangle these three key words in order to pursue the most impactful approach.
Carbon Blacks in Inkjet: Particle and Aggregate Size Considerations
Inkjet inks utilizing waterborne, solventborne, and energy curable chemistries have become popular in recent decades compared to more traditional analogue printing techniques due to the ability to print variable content, low ink usage, and versatility of substrate types and geometry. Compared to dyes, which have been used extensively, particularly in waterborne systems due to their solubility, pigments offer much better lightfastness, water/solvent resistance, holdout (especially on porous substrates), and color performance.
Improving the Performance of Lithium ion Batteries with Conductive Carbons
First commercialized in the early 1990s, lithium ion batteries have since come to be an integral part of modern life. Portable electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops, and power tools, were the first to utilize this technology. In recent years, the push to electrify personal transportation has accelerated the production of electric vehicles. Conductive carbons are now further improving the performance of Lithium ion batteries.
