Short-length multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) possess unique features that differentiate them from their longer counterparts and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These features are intrinsic to their structure, size, and surface characteristics, leading to specific properties and applications
- High Tensile Strength: MWCNTs are known for their exceptional tensile strength, attributed to the strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms in graphene sheets. Short-length MWCNTs can efficiently transfer load and reinforce composite materials even at low filler concentrations.
- Elasticity and Flexibility: Despite their strength, they exhibit a degree of flexibility, allowing them to be bent or twisted without breaking. This makes them suitable for applications requiring durable, yet flexible materials.
- Excellent Electrical Conductivity: The graphene layers within MWCNTs facilitate electron movement, making them highly conductive. This property is useful in creating conductive composites, electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors, and in electronic devices.
