Description:Carbon Nanohorns (CNH)
Spheroidal aggregates of hornlike single-walled nanostructures: Length 20 – 150 nm, Diameter 3 – 25 nm
In Bulk-Material: agglomerates up to some µm sizeBulk density: 35 - 100 g/lSpecific Surface: > 200 m²/g (raw material),
with treatment > 1.000 m²/g Typical Pore-Ø: 10 - 100 nmPurity: > 95 % C, out of which
about 99 % in nanostructures
-> practical no amorphous carbon and no contamination resulting from the production process (just the impurities from the precursor)

First Conclusions
Potential of CNH as filler to obtain new thermoplastics with improved properties :• Material properties:
• Young‘s modulus, hardness• Strength • Thermal stability, fire resistance
• Easy and good processing properties, such as: • High molding quality• Use for conventional molding• Use for micro molding
• Use for 3D-printers (prototyping)• Environmentally friendly and safe

(6) Outlook
CNH-filled Thermoplastics can be used for:• Small high quality pieces with exact geometry
(e.g. plug casing, gear wheel, non-magnetic components for watches)• Small /miniaturized mechanical pieces with low deformation
(e.g. plastic chassis, lever, rods, plastic -metal/-ceramic/-glass joints)• Small /miniaturized mechanical pieces with low abrasion
(e.g. friction wheel, joint balls, articulation, friction coupling) • Pieces which are temperature resistant (fire resistant)
(e.g. battery packages, heat treathened components) • Prototyping with 3D printing with high performing plastics
(e.g. CNH reinforced ABS, combined composite 3-D printing)• As new type of reinforced plastics (e.g. alternative to GFRP)
(e.g. where molding, machining, recycling is easy and efficient)
