Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are expected to become a new material due to their excellent properties. On the other hand, the mass proliferation of electronic devices has created global-scale environmental problems. In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a strong need for the development of new environmentally friendly materials for the next generation. In our laboratory, we have developed a method and equipment to convert waste plastics into CNTs with high efficiency. The physical properties of CNTs derived from waste plastic have not been investigated in detail, but if CNTs derived from waste plastic have excellent physical properties like those of conventional CNTs, they will be a promising candidate for the next generation of environmentally friendly new materials. In this study, we fabricated composite materials by mixing the waste plastic-derived CNTs fabricated in our laboratory with photocurable resin, and evaluated their mechanical, optical, and electrical properties.
