Most nanocarbon dispersions are optimized for one polymer system — and perform unpredictably in others. Flexiphene™ is a platform technology: the surfactant-free, high-functional-content Flexiphene™ integrates into thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and coatings without requiring changes to your existing process chemistry. If you can add a liquid to your process, you can add Flexiphene™.
Flexiphene™'s Flexiphene™ works across all major polymer classes. The functional groups on the nanocarbon component interact favorably with both polar and nonpolar matrices; the surfactant-free surface avoids the compatibility issues caused by surfactant selection mismatch in specific polymer systems.
PA 66, PEEK, PPS, PEI, and other high-performance thermoplastics used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. Published ASTM data available for PA 66 at 1 wt.%.
PP, PE, PET, PVC, and commodity engineering plastics where nanocarbon additives improve mechanical performance, flame retardancy, or electrical conductivity for value-added applications.
Epoxy, vinyl ester, phenolic, cyanate ester, and BMI resin systems for composite manufacturing. Compatible with wet layup, VARTM, RTM, and prepreg processing methods.
Polyurethane, silicone, EPDM, and natural rubber systems for flexible, damping, and sealing applications. Nanocarbon improves mechanical strength without compromising elastomeric behavior.
Water-based and solvent-based coating formulations, conductive inks, and functional coatings. The liquid dispersion format integrates directly into coating formulation workflows.
CFRP, GFRP, and hybrid fiber-reinforced composite matrices for aerospace, defense, and high-performance structural applications. Reinforces the matrix and fiber-matrix interface simultaneously.
Flexiphene™ ships as a ready-to-use liquid dispersion. No powder handling. No special equipment. No process overhaul required. It integrates into the processing step that makes the most sense for your system.
For thermoplastics: add Flexiphene™ dispersion as a liquid feed during twin-screw extrusion, or pre-mix with polymer pellets before compounding. The liquid evaporates during processing; nanocarbon integrates into the polymer melt.
For solution-cast films and coatings: add Flexiphene™ to the polymer solution before casting. Homogeneous mixing is straightforward due to the stable liquid dispersion format.
For thermoset composites: add Flexiphene™ to the base resin before mixing with hardener. Compatible with VARTM, RTM, and manual infusion processes. Viscosity impact is minimal at 1 wt.%.
For hand layup composites: pre-mix with the resin component. Nanocarbon disperses throughout the matrix during layup without requiring modifications to layup tooling or procedures.
For films and coatings: add Flexiphene™ to the coating formulation before application. Compatible with spray, spin, dip, and draw-down coating methods. Film properties controlled by dispersion concentration and deposition parameters.
For standalone nanocarbon films: filter through membrane to form buckypaper. The surfactant-free dispersion produces papers with higher conductivity and cleaner surfaces than surfactant-based alternatives without a washing step.
Universal compatibility doesn't mean one-size-fits-all protocol. Our materials scientists review your specific polymer system, processing method, and performance targets — then recommend the optimal dispersion concentration, addition method, and any post-processing steps for your application.
