Carbon nanotubes with strengths on the order of 1 TPa are seen ... This is in stark contrast to traditional composites (both short and continuous fiber) in which fibers are straight and often aligned.

Surprisingly, we found that carbon nanotube fibers far exceed the recyclability ... "We hope this could pave the way for fully recyclable composites in aircraft, vehicles, civil infrastructures ...

"A polymer composite consists of several layers of carbon or glass fibers impregnated with epoxy resin and sintered together. Their diameter is 5–10 microns, compared to 50–150 microns for ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes, being thinner and more conductive ... KERI has demonstrated that batteries utilizing their composite anode materials maintain over 82% performance after 100 charge ...

Recycling materials, such as plastics and metals, is an attractive, but challenging path toward sustainable material ...

“By using two different sources of carbon nanotubes, we ensured that our ... “We hope this could pave the way for fully recyclable composites in aircraft, vehicles, civil infrastructures ...

CF is commonly used to create composites, in which case they are ... Although not as aggressively toxic as the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) which the authors contrast with, the triple ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical nanostructures formed by ... making them attractive for various applications, such as composites, electronics, and energy storage. Fullerenes are spherical or ...

CW Tech Days are virtual events dedicated to the topics impacting the composites industry today. Access past event recordings and register for upcoming Tech Days.

Carbon-based structures, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have much higher electrical conductivity than copper, as does graphene. The main issue is that making wires out of them is not exactly ...
