Description:
Carbon nanotubes represent the ultimate carbon fiber, having the highest thermal conductivity, exceptional mechanical properties and the highest tensile strength of any material. However, existing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have several limiting features including non-uniformity of size (requiring expensive sorting), and a cap at one or both ends.
Potential applications include the following uses:
