Carbon nanotubes are five times stronger than steel and better electrical conductors than copper what is a possuble use for carbon nanotubes?
They are put in paint to strengthen vehicles or sometimes used in nanometer sized electronics.
Why carbon nanotubes should purified?
Because nobody wants an unpure carbon nanotube
A form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere?
carbon nanotubes
What type of uses do we have for carbon?
used for fuel (coal), C-14 isotopeused in archeological dating, lubricants
What are tiny hallow tubes made up of carbon atoms?
They're called "nanotubes".
Which metals is used in paper batteries?
carbon nanotubes
Which allotrope of carbon is used in superconductor?
Not used today but possible in the future: - carbon nanotubes - doped carbon as CaC6
Is carbon nanotubes a type of paper?
No. Paper is cellulose, a carbohydrate usually derived from plant material. Carbon nanotubes are a variant of pure carbon that are used in a variety of high-strength materials.
Can carbon nanotubes be used to make bullet proof armor?
This technology is being explored as an option for body armor, but there are no body armor products using carbon nanotubes as yet.
What is the chemical formula for carbon nanotubes?
Carbon remain carbon.
Which form of carbon is ductile?
graphite carbon nanotubes
What element has a macromolecular structure similar to carbon?
Carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are five times stronger than steel and better electrical conductors than copper what is a possuble use for carbon nanotubes?
They are put in paint to strengthen vehicles or sometimes used in nanometer sized electronics.
Who invented nanotube?
Although there are numerous instances of people observing carbon nanotubes, most literature credits Sumio Iijima as the discoverer of carbon nanotubes.
What is the structure of nanotubes?
the structure of nanotubes are carbon atoms joint together covalently to form a long tube.
What or common uses of boron?
Boron is use in doping semiconductors, modifying their electrical properties. Boron oxide (B2O3) is used in glassmaking and ceramics. Borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) is used in making fiberglass, as a cleansing fluid, a water softener, insecticide, herbicide and disinfectant. Boric acid (H3BO3) is used as a mild antiseptic and as a flame retardant. Boron Nitride's hardness is second only to diamond, but it has better thermal and chemical stability, hence boron nitride ceramics are used in high-temperature equipment. Boron nitride nanotubes can have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes. BN nanotubes are more thermally and chemically stable than carbon nanotubes and, unlike carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanotubes are electrical insulators. Boron carbide (B4C) is used in tank armor and bullet proof vests.
What is the strongest shape in built structures?
In terms of tensile strength it's the hexagon, as used in the construction of carbon nanotubes.
