Summary
editDescriptionCSIRO ScienceImage 988 Carbon nanotubes spun to form a yarn.jpg |
English: The yarn contains hundreds of thousands of fibres in cross section. Each fibre is one ten-thousandth the diameter of a typical human hair. Carbon nanotube fibres are thermally and electrically conductive , can withstand extremes of temperature and are resistant to radiation-induced degradation. Despite being strong and having a toughness comparable to that of fibers used for antiballistic vests, fabrics woven from these nanotube yarns would be soft to the touch and drapable, which is a consequence of the very small nanotube yarn diameters. Other potential applications for this material include artificial muscles, high intensity filaments for light and X-ray sources, antiballistic clothing, electronic textiles, satellite tethers, and yarns for energy storage and generation that are weavable into textiles. |
