Leverkusen Researchers at Bayer Technology
Services and Bayer MaterialScience have succeeded in manufacturing
high-quality carbon nanotubes at considerably lower cost than
before. By adding the new multi-walled
Baytubes®, which have a mean diameter of only 20 nanometers,
plastics can be made so electrically conductive that they can
be painted without any further pretreatment using waterborne
or powder coatings. The microscopic carbon tubes can also be
used in the manufacture of antistatic packaging materials for
electronic components or to shield computer or cellphone housings
against electromagnetic interference. Bayer Technology Services
is the Bayer Group’s competence center for process technology.
