Abstract

The strength of macroscopic materials made of carbon nanotubes depends on the quality of the nanotubes produced, as well as various methods of post-treatment. The average diameter and length of the nanotubes can be controlled through the various parameters of a specially designed injector system, in conjunction with the CVD furnace. Large non-woven textiles and yarns of pure nanotubes are created, and then post-processed in various ways to obtain the desired products. In this way textiles over 2 square meters, and yarns of over a half kilometer have been produced with strengths unprecedented in pure carbon nanotube materials.
