Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a carbon nanotube dispersion liquid, in particular to a method for dispersing a carbon nanotube in a Pickering emulsion. Background technique [0002] The axial dimension of carbon nanotubes is generally micron-scale, while the radial dimension can reach nanoscale. Using its large aspect ratio, it can be made into carbon fibers with excellent toughness and anisotropic heat-conducting materials; carbon nanotubes are unique The hollow structure of carbon nanotubes makes it an ideal catalyst support material and hydrogen storage material. Therefore, carbon nanotube-reinforced composites have become an important field in material research. [0003] However, due to the strong van der Waals force between carbon nanotubes, they are easily entangled or agglomerated into bundles, thus restricting the application of carbon nanotubes. In order to disperse carbon nanotubes better, some physical and chemical methods...
