NANOGUMMI project aim is to develop advanced compound rubbers for automotive market.

The innovative idea of NANOGUMMI is to replace a part of CB loading of the formulation by a smaller loading of CNT. In that case, mechanical properties of materials would be improved of at least 10 % thanks to CNT’s higher surface area than CB, and synergistic effect of both fillers would have an impressive effect on mechanical, dynamical and thermal properties. Furthermore, combining use of CB and CNT would also provide electrical conductivity to the new material.

IMEF a pour objectif de concevoir, développer et réaliser des démonstrateurs représentatifs d’une orientation et d’une dispersion de nanotubes de carbone, obtenues lors de la mise en forme spécifique de thermoplastiques/CNT.

Les procédés de mise en forme visés pour ce projet sont :

1. L’extrusion sous forme de tubes (mono et multicouches) ;
2. L’extrusion sous forme de feuilles (mono et multicouches) ;
3. L’extrusion gonflage de films ;
4. L’injection soufflage de corps creux : production de pièces plastiques creuses (typiquement des bouteilles).
5. Le moussage de feuilles ;
6. Le filage ;
7. Le thermoformage : mise en forme d’une feuille plastique chauffée à une température proche de la fusion du thermoplastique sur un moule d’une forme particulière ;
8. Le rotomoulage : chauffage de la matière solide (plastique, NTC, additifs, …) dans un moule creux chauffé en rotation tridimensionnelle pour obtenir un pièce plastique creuse, le plus souvent de grande taille (réservoirs).

Optimisation du procédé de production des nanotubes de carbone en augmentant la productivité des réacteurs et en diminuant la variabilité sur la qualité des nanotubes de carbone produits.
