CNT
What is Carbon Nanotube (CNT)?
-
It is a tube structure composed of hollow andsingle-layered carbon atoms that can be synthetically formed outside of the pureamorphous structures of the element carbon, suchas graphite diamond, which exist in nature.
-
Its existence was discovered by Sumio Ijiama in 1991. Ijiama has also developed the manufacturingprocess.
-
It is the carbon structure that excites all scientificcircles due to its mechanical, electrical, optical, and chemical properties.
-
It is the material that excites the scientificcommunity enough to allow countries to allocate a significant amount of shares of around $ 500 billion from their official budgets by 2000 to 2012 for their R&D.
What Are The Reasons That Excite All Scientists?
-
High strength of CNT
100 times more tensile strength than ReinforcedSteel.
-
Lightness
30% lighter than aluminum.
-
High conductivity
Electrical conductivity 1000 times higher thancopper have very high thermal conductivity.
