Novel dispersions of nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers,
boron nanotubes, clay nanotubes, other
nanotube species, buckminster fullerenes,
graphene,
graphene nanoplatelets, elements, oxides, nanoparticles,
nanoclusters, nanopowders, nanocrystals, nanoscale molecules, other nanoscale materials, as well as products produced therefrom are described. These dispersions can then be further processed into a wide variety of products including but not limited to composite materials, polymers, resins, epoxies, emulsions, cements, coatings, clays, films, membranes, paper, fibers, inks, paints, pastes,
electronics,
spintronics,
optics,
biotechnology materials, electrodes, field emission or other displays, plating,
capacitance, ceramics, catalysts, clays, ballistic materials,
drug delivery,
doping, magnetics, dielectrics, barrier
layers, selective
ion flow membranes, batteries,
fuel cells, solar and other applications. The invention can also be used to protect
electronics from
electromagnetic interference,
radio frequency interference or
radio frequency identification. Most applications that utilize nanoparticles can benefit from this invention.
