Abstract: Problems of high-viscous suspensions of epoxy resins with multiwall carbon nanotubes are discussed in the article. Analysis of the viscosity of suspensions depending on the mass content of carbon nanotubes as well as shear rate and temperature is provided. An original roll-type disperser is developed.

Keywords: carbon nanotubes, epoxy resin, agglomerates, viscosity, disperser.
