Compliance with modern ESD international requirements is a challenge for manufacturers. They set high standards: anti-static gloves must have a stable and humidity-independent electrical resistance.
Graphene nanotubes are a unique anti-static agent, providing strong ESD protection to workers and static-sensitive equipment when used in all types of latex gloves.
With effective concentration starting from 0.05% graphene nanotubes provide stable and uniform conductivity, and also maintain mechanical properties of latex and allow coloration of end-products.
Gloves with nanotubes are used in hazardous environments and static-sensitive facilities in mining, chemical, electronics and automotive manufacturing, cleanrooms, and oil & gas industry.
Anti-static gloves are specialized gloves designed to prevent the buildup and discharge of static electricity from the workers’ hands. These ESD-protective gloves must meet volume resistivity requirements of less than 1.0 × 10⁸ Ω, complying with the EN 16350 standard.

Non-crosslinkable conductive additive for liquid silicones
The pitch-derived soft carbon and SWCNTs provided an excellent conductivity, and the porous structure of the composite accommodated the stress produced by the Si expansion.
High thickness and specific capacity leads to areal capacities of up to 45 and 30 mAh cm−2 for anodes and cathodes, respectively. Combining optimized composite anodes and cathodes yields full cells with state-of-the-art areal capacities (29 mAh cm−2) and specific/volumetric energies (480 Wh kg−1 and 1,600 Wh l−1).
The all‐nanomat full cell shows exceptional improvement in battery energy density – 479 Wh/kg battery, and Si-anode capacity – 1166 mAh/g.
The use of SWCNT conductive additive enables graphite-free SiO electrodes with 74% higher volumetric energy and superior full-cell cycling compared to graphite electrodes.
Areal capacities greater than 10 mAh/cm2 and volumetric capacities greater than 1400 mAh/cm3 can be achieved.
Replacing Denka black with SWCNT allows to reduce the carbon content to 0.2 wt% to further increase the energy density, and 2 wt% of PVDF was shown to benefit the cycling stability due to the mitigated PVDF-induced side reactions from its direct contact with NCA particles.
