APPLICATIONS FOR CNTS
There are countless potential applications of carbon nanotubes in electronics, composites,
energy and life sciences.
 |
Electronics
One of the more amazing attributes of carbon nanotubes is that they can form films
that are highly electrically conductive, but almost completely transparent. |
 |
Structural Composites
High performance carbon fibers are used in structural composites in a wide range
of applications including aerospace, automotives, and sporting equipment. |
 |
Conductive Composites
Carbon nanotubes blend well with plastics, and can impart reasonable conductivity
at modest loadings. |
 |
Energy
Carbon nanotubes have the intrinsic characteristics desired for material used as
electrodes in batteries, capacitors, and fuel cells. |
 |
Life Sciences
Nanotubes could also have a significant impact on the biotech, pharmaceutical, and
medical device industries. |
