2. Carbon nanofiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanofiber

   The fabrication process includes thickening of continuous carbon nanotube films by gas-phase pyrolytic carbon deposition and further graphitization of the carbon layer by high temperature treatment. Due to the epitaxial growth mechanism, the fiber features superior properties including low density, high mechanical strength, high electrical ...

3. Optical properties of carbon nanotubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_properties_of...

   A single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) can be envisioned as strip of a graphene molecule (a single sheet of graphite) rolled and joined into a seamless cylinder.The structure of the nanotube can be characterized by the width of this hypothetical strip (that is, the circumference c or diameter d of the tube) and the angle α of the strip relative to the main symmetry axes of the hexagonal ...

4. Carbon nanotube metal matrix composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube_metal...

   Carbon nanotube metal matrix composites (CNT-MMC) are an emerging class of new materials that mix carbon nanotubes into metals and metal alloys to take advantage of the high tensile strength and electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube materials.

5. Potential applications of carbon nanotubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_applications_of...

   CNT resins enhance fiber composites, including wind turbine blades and hulls for maritime security boats that are made by enhancing carbon fiber composites with CNT-enhanced resin. CNTs are deployed as additives in the organic precursors of stronger 1 μm-diameter carbon fibers. CNTs influence the arrangement of carbon in pyrolyzed fiber. [2]

6. Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_properties_of...

   Carbon nanotubes are the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered in terms of tensile strength and elastic modulus respectively. This strength results from the covalent sp 2 bonds formed between the individual carbon atoms. In 2000, a multi-walled carbon nanotube was tested to have a tensile strength of 63 gigapascals (9,100,000 psi).

7. Carbon nanotube actuators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube_actuators

   For current carbon nanotube actuators, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and bundles of MWNTs have been widely used mostly due to the easiness of handling and robustness. Solution dispersed thick films and highly ordered transparent films of carbon nanotubes have been used for the macroscopic applications.

9. Nanotube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotube

   A nanotube is a nanoscale cylindrical structure with a hollow core, typically composed of carbon atoms, though other materials can also form nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the most well-known and widely studied type, consisting of rolled-up sheets of graphene with diameters ranging from about 1 to tens of nanometers and lengths up to ...
