In the present work, an assessment is made of the use of single-layer carbon nanotubes as a replacement for traditional pigments for the coloration and modification of polymers on an industrial scale, and the physicomechanical, thermodynamic, and colour characteristics of specimens coloured with different pigments are analysed in detail.
