Carbon nanotubes as threads for smart fabrics - UC and Wright-Patterson US Air Force

Happy Tuesday morning everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Admin loves to share recent happenings in local and overseas as there are plenty of discoveries from university-industry collaboration! (Interesting and mind blowing !)๐Ÿคฃ

Let's take a look at the collaboration between the University of Cincinatti and

Wright-Patterson US Air Force. They see the potential to develop strong and electrically conductive materials that can enhance the apparel of military personnel - using carbon nanotubes as threads for smart fabrics! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Admin did some searches about nanotubes. ๐Ÿค”Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Owing to the material's exceptional strength and stiffness, nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000:1, significantly larger than for any other material. What's more, nanotubes has extraordinary thermal conductivity, mechanical, and electrical properties!๐Ÿค”Wow!
