CORE-SHELL, Symbolizing SOUL & Body has been a subject of interest to many and was scientifically used for the service of the Polymer industry by Borg. Warner for Technology and Production of ABS Plastics. It has thereafter served the Polymer Industry well. CB is very difficult to disperse Pigment, particularly in Polymeric Systems i.e.Plastics, Filament & Fiber and TPEs. With the myriad applications in the above segment. The Concept of CB as a VEHICLE to colour black and impart UV absorption property is being done through the master batch route. Now, to even think of CB Per-se as a Vehicle is not possible but modifying the CB surface by forming a shell so that CB particles move like a vehicle is Possible, Thus Proving my Statement that Impossible = I.M.Possible.
Considering the CB particle as a Core the enveloping material that is bonded to the CB provides dispersibility and dilutability Per-se the innovations considered the following factors:
