■What is multi-walled carbon nanotube?
CNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) are nanofibers with excellent material properties such as conductivity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties. It is an advanced material that is expected to have a variety of applications due to its characteristics. For example, by mixing just a small amount of this material into the batteries used in smartphones, battery life can be significantly increased.
In addition, major general contractors are conducting research on this material as it can be used for cables for space elevators that connect satellite orbits and the ground, making it an essential material for future space businesses. Not only is it expected to replace steel, aluminum, and plastic in the future as a lightweight and strong material, but its functionality is also attracting attention.
■Characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the CNT business
The multi-walled carbon nanotubes handled by the CNT business are characterized by being long, straight, and high-density. This function allows synthesis to match fine pitches and is characterized by high linearity. As a result, we have achieved higher textile performance compared to conventional multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Additionally, as an applied technology, it is easy to process various multi-walled carbon nanotube structures.
■Long
Even if the diameter is several tens of nanometers, the length is several millimeters. Easy to handle.
■Straight
Anyway, it is a multi-walled carbon nanotube with high linearity.
■High density
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes with high density and unidirectional orientation.
■Multi-walled carbon nanotube sheet
CNTs spun into a web are laminated to form a sheet. No binders are used.
