Carbon Nanotubes

Our advanced Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are tubular cylinders of carbon atoms that have extraordinary electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal, and chemical properties.

Individual carbon nanotubes can conduct electricity better than copper, possess higher tensile strength than steel, and conduct heat better than diamond. In electronic applications, carbon nanotubes can possess higher mobilities than single crystal silicon. All this in a material that is over 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.

There are multiple forms of carbon nanotubes, varying in diameter, length, number of walls and in the tendency of the nanotubes to form ropes and bundles of tubes. Some forms of carbon nanotubes are metallic and highly conducting; other forms are semiconducting, and can form the basis of electronic switches.
