A carbon black composition of carbon black coated with nickel, iron, cobalt or yttrium, blends of such metal doped carbon black with thermoplastic or rubber as well as applications of the metal coated carbon black are disclosed. The material has ferromagnetic properties and allows applications in materials influenced by magnetic and/or electric, and/or electromagnetic fields. The other application is for use in carbon black reactors as a catalyst or nucleus for new production of nanostructures of carbon black, in particular carbon nanotubes. |
