Carbon Nanotube

Advantages of carbon nanotube

Carbon nanotube comes in various forms, can be made into powders, films or composite materials and its advantages are extremely remarkable.

Extremely strong mechanical properties

Its tensile strength is over 100 times that of steel, and weigh only 1/6 of steel. These make it become an ideal choice for lightweight structural materials.

Outstanding electrical conductivity

It is comparable to that of metal copper, and some types even possess semiconductor properties, suitable for different electronic devices.

Високий теплопровідність

It far exceeds that of traditional thermal conductive materials, which enables rapid heat transfer and uniform distribution.

Eвідмінна хімічна стійкість

It remain stable in acidic and alkaline environments and at high temperatures and some types can withstand temperatures above 1000°C.

Unique hollow structure

You can use it to load drugs, catalysts, etc., which can provides extremely high flexibility in functional applications.

Types of carbon nanotube

According to the number of wall layers

Single-walled carbon nanotube

It is composed of only one layer of carbon atomic tubes and have a diameter typically ranging from 0.4 to 2 nanometers. It has pure electronic properties, which is suitable for high-precision electronic devices, nano-sensors, and other scenarios.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube

It is formed by coaxially nesting multiple layers of carbon atomic tubes, diameter generally ranging from 2 to 100 nanometers. The costs of it is relatively lower and it has better mechanical strength. So it is suitable for industrial scenarios such as composite material reinforcement and conductive coatings.

Uses of carbon nanotube

In the electronics field

You can use it to manufacture the conductive electrodes for flexible displays. Its high conductivity and flexibility are well-suited to meet the requirements of screen bending.

You can also use it to create high-performance transistors, breaking the performance limitations of traditional silicon-based devices and facilitating chip miniaturization.

In the energy field

You can add carbon nanotube to lithium batteries can enhance the conductivity and structural stability of the electrodes. It can also extend battery life, and improve fast charging performance.

Using it in super capacitors, its high specific surface area can increase the energy storage capacity, enabling rapid charging and discharging.

In the biomedicine field

By loading anti-cancer drugs into the hollow structure, it is possible to precisely target tumor cells. Thus minimizing the damage to normal tissues caused by the drugs.

You can also make it into biosensors, which can quickly detect trace markers in blood, facilitating early disease diagnosis.

In the composite materials field

You can incorporate it into plastics, metals, or ceramics can produce lightweight and high-strength aerospace components, automotive structural parts. Such as the composite materials used in aircraft wings, it is not only reduce weight but also enhance safety performance.

You can also use it to make bulletproof materials, which ultra-high strength can effectively resist impacts.
