Carbon nanotube yarn, muscle and transparent sheets

Carbon nanotubes Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have high strength and modulus, high electrical and thermal conductivities, are stable at relatively high and low temperatures. Individual nanotubes can be 100 times stronger than steel. To effectively exploit the exceptional properties of individual nanotube’s in various applications, continuous pure CNT yarns and high CNT content composite yarns need to be fabricated. MWCNTs reinforced PAN fibers and CNT/cellulosic continuous bamboo yarns can be used to manufacture CNTs filled multifunctional products by electro spinning. This process can give significant improvements of the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the yarn by incorporation of CNT into the nanofibers. SWCNT fibers can also be manufactured from liquid crystal solutions to get continuous neat CNT fibers. Making CNT yarn A continuous CNT fiber yarn using multiple threads of high purity double walled carbon nanotubes can be fabricated in a horizontal CVD gas flow reactor w
