Product Code: SWCNT0521
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are one-atom-thick rolled-up graphene sheets, typically with diameters between 0.6 and 2.0 nm and lengths up to 500 mm. Owing to their unique structure, they exhibit excellent electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties including:
- Incredible strength (they are 100 times stronger than steel at one sixth the weight);
- Electrical conductivity as high as copper, but five times lighter;
- Thermal conductivity as high as diamond (up to 1000oC);
- Highest length-to-diameter ratio;
- Chemical inertness (SWCNTs are compatible with almost all materials).
Due to these unique properties, SWCNTs have great potential for utilisation as a multi-functional additive and as the basis for creating new products with previously unattainable properties. And this can be achieved using a very low concentration of SWCNTs - starting from 0.01% of the total weight of the material.
However, SWCNTs have not been used in industry until recently owing to the absence of technology for their mass production and, as a consequence, their high price. This has recently charge due to improvements in manufacturing and capacity increases and they are finding wider application in thin-film transistors, fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, rubber, composites, coatings and more.
