- their length / diameter ratio is advantageously greater than 10 and most often greater than 100.
- NTC can be carried out by different processes, however the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis makes it possible to manufacture a large quantity of CNTs.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the processes for synthesizing CNTs according to the CVD technique consist in bringing into contact, at a temperature of between 500 and 1500 ° C., a source of carbon with a catalyst, generally in the form of coated substrate grains. of metal, put in fluidized bed.
- the synthesized CNTs bind to the catalytic substrate grains in the form of an entangled three-dimensional network, forming powder comprising CNT agglomerates, the average dimensions of which are of the order of a few hundred microns.

- This process makes it possible to compact the CNT powder and to reduce the average size d50 of the agglomerates constituting the CNT granules by more than 60% relative to the size of the agglomerates constituting the CNT powder.

These aerogels are solvent free and are used to prepare carbon nanotube membranes and nanocomposite materials.
- WO 2012/080626 describes a process for introducing nanocharges of carbon origin into a metal or a metal alloy. This results in a metal composite comprising well dispersed nanofillers, of density close to that of the metal, used for the production of metal structures.
- CNT masterbatches are ready to use and can be safely introduced into a matrix to form composites with improved properties.
- the host matrix of the NTC masterbatch is chosen to correspond to, or be compatible with, the matrix of the composite material.
- the primary aggregates are broken down by the mechanical shear used to disperse the CNTs homogeneously in a liquid or viscoelastic host matrix.

- the disaggregated CNTs present in the agglomerated solid material prepared in Example 2 in the hydrophilic medium show slightly lower performances than those obtained with the disaggregated CNTs present in the agglomerated solid material prepared in Example 1 in the hydrophobic medium.
- the PAYNE or non-linearity effect is more important for charged mixtures.
- This parameter is related to the state of dispersion. According to this criterion, the CNTs disaggregated according to Example 2 give a very good result for dispersibility, superior to the masterbatch of the state of the art (formulation 4). The tensile results of the formulation 2 which are lower are explained more by the more favorable NTC / EPDM interfaces in the hydrophobic systems.
- the agglomerated solid material of the invention makes it possible to approach the antistatic domain, even at a low level of 3 phr, by marking the beginning of the percolation.
- formulation 2 which demonstrates a performance at the same level as formulation 4 of the state of the art, prepared from a master batch comprising a pre-dispersion of crude CNTs, which is today the best technological approach, transposable on an industrial scale.
- the agglomerated solid material of the invention achieves similar or superior results with respect to this reference of the state of the art, in terms of mechanical or electrical properties.
- the agglomerated solid material of the invention is usable for a wide variety of polymer matrices, and thus becomes a universal solution for effectively introducing CNTs, in contrast to the "master mix" approach which requires a similar nature of the matrix of NTC concentrate and polymer matrix of the application.
