Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A CNT dispersion includes a dispersion medium, and a nanocarbon material containing carbon nanotubes dispersed in the dispersion medium. 98% or more of the nanocarbon material has a length of 1 μm or more and 105 μm or less and the nanocarbon material has an average aspect ratio of 100 or more and 20000 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A carbon nanotube dispersion comprising: a dispersion medium; and a nanocarbon material containing carbon nanotubes dispersed in the dispersion medium, wherein 98% or more of the nanocarbon material has a length of 1 μm or more and 105 μm or less and the nanocarbon material has an average aspect ratio of 100 or more and 20000 or less. 2. The carbon nanotube dispersion according to claim 1 , wherein the nanocarbon material has a standard deviation of the length of 40 μm or less. 3. A method for producing a carbon nanotube dispersion, comprising: performing a first dispersion treatment on a nanocarbon material containing an aggregates of carbon nanotubes to adjust a length of 95% or more of the nanocarbon material to 1 μm or more and 105 μm or less; and performing a second dispersion treatment on the nanocarbon material after the first dispersion treatment to loosen at least a part of the aggregates, wherein 98% or more of the obtained nanocarbon material has a length of 1 μm or more and 105 μm or less and the obtained nanocarbon material has an average aspect ratio of 100 or more and 20000 or less. 4. The method for producing a carbon nanotube dispersion according to claim 3 , wherein the first dispersion treatment is performed by using a colloid mill or a homogenizer. 5. The method for producing a carbon nanotube dispersion according to claim 4 , wherein the second dispersion treatment is a high-pressure dispersion treatment. 6. The method for producing a carbon nanotube dispersion according to claim 3 , wherein 10% or more of the nanocarbon material before the first dispersion treatment has a length of more than 105 μm.
