A bio buckypaper synthesized with fish scales may be manufactured by mixing carrageenan with a bio waste solution to provide a first mixture, adding carbon nanotubes to the first mixture produce a second mixture, sonicating the second mixture, and evaporative-casting the second mixture to produce the bio buckypaper. In an embodiment, the carrageenan may be -carrageenan. In an embodiment, the carbon nanotubes may be single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In an embodiment, the bio waste solution may be derived from fish scales.

A thermally insulating composition comprising hollow spherical silica particles and a coating of a material having a thermal conductivity of less than 0.3 W/m.Math.K on surfaces of said silica particles. In particular embodiments, the low conductivity coating material may be a polymer, such as polystyrene or polyvinylpyrrolidone, or the low conductivity coating material may be a quaternary ammonium salt of the Formula (1), i.e., R.sup.1R.sup.2R.sup.3R.sup.4N.sup.+A.sup., with at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 being an alkyl group containing at least ten carbon atoms (and A.sup. is a counter anion), or the low conductivity coating material may be phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester covalently bound to the hollow spherical silica particles. Also described herein is a method of thermally insulating a surface by applying a coating of the thermally insulating composition, described above, onto the surface.

A carbon nanotube array constituted by large numbers of carbon nanotubes vertically aligned on a substrate is produced by supplying a carbon source gas into a reaction vessel having a hydrogen gas atmosphere, in which a substrate on which a reaction catalyst comprising fine metal particles is formed is placed; forming large numbers of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on the substrate by keeping a reaction temperature of 500-1100 C. for 0.5-30 minutes; and heat-treating the carbon nanotubes by stopping the supply of the carbon source gas and keeping 400-1100 C. for 0.5-180 minutes in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.

The present invention relates to a novel dispersing agent capable of uniformly dispersing a variety of carbon-based materials in different media including aqueous solvents and a preparation method thereof, and a carbon-based material-dispersed composition including the same. The dispersing agent is a mixture of a plurality of polyaromatic hydrocarbon oxides, and the mixture includes polyaromatic hydrocarbon oxide having a molecular weight of 300 to 1000 in an amount of 60% by weight or more.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene platelets, or other forms of graphene are incorporated into raw materials before products and product components are manufactured from the materials. For example, CNTs may be incorporated into metallic powders, which can be pressed and sintered into metallic products and product components. CNTs or graphene platelets can also be incorporated into plastics, ceramics, metals, or other materials used to construct products and product components by additive manufacturing. When incorporated into the products and product components, the CNTs or graphene platelets can improve various properties of the products and product components, such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, or structural properties.
