Carbon nanotube composites
Carbon nanotubes are molecular-scale tubes of graphitic carbon with outstanding properties. They are among the stiffest and strongest fibres known, with Young’s moduli as high as 1 TPa and tensile strengths of up to 63 GPa. They also have remarkable electronic properties and can be metallic or semiconducting depending on their structure and diameter. There is currently great interest in exploit...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Polymer Composites
Figure2 While there are limitless applications for these materials, we are interested in radiation shielding and radiation resistant materials for use in the space industry. Initially, we focused on optically transparent single wall nanotoube (SWNT) polymer composites (2-5). Three different in situ polymerization/sonication methods, heat, light and gamma radiation, were used to produce poly (me...
متن کاملNanotube Composite Carbon Fibers
The mechanical properties of materials in small rod-shaped form are of considerable technological interest since, due to their shape and size, they can exhibit appreciably greater strength relative to corresponding macroscopic forms. For example, the mechanical strength of silicon carbide whiskers systematically increases with decreasing whisker diameter over the 100 to 1 micron range. This phe...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube–polymer composites for photonic devices
We report the fabrication of high optical quality single wall carbon nanotube polyvinyl alcohol composites and their application in nanotube based photonic devices. These show a broad absorption of semiconductor tubes centred at 1.55mm, the spectral range of interest for optical communications. The films are used as mode-lockers in an erbium doped fibre laser, achieving 700 fs mode-locked pulse...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Polycarbonate Composites for Ultrafast Lasers
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are at the center of nanotechnology research. Their nonlinear optical behavior makes them promising for applications in ultrafast photonics. SWNTs are indeed good saturable absorbers, i.e., they are transparent to high-intensity light, with ultrafast recovery time. Saturable absorbers must always keep a delicate balance between the modulation depth and nonsa...
