I can provide some information on the thermal stability and electric conductibility of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are known for their exceptional thermal stability, with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 2800°C without significant structural changes. This makes them suitable for use in high-temperature applications such as aerospace engineering and electronics.

In terms of electric conductibility, carbon nanotubes have been shown to exhibit both metallic and semiconducting behavior, depending on their structure and arrangement. This unique property makes them versatile for use in various electronic devices, including transistors, sensors, and batteries.

To gather more information on these properties, I suggest searching through scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science. You can also look for research articles and reviews specifically focused on the thermal stability and electric conductibility of carbon nanotubes. Additionally, consulting with experts in the field or attending conferences on nanotechnology can also provide valuable insights on these properties.
 

Related to Thermal stability and electric conductibility of carbon nanotubes

What are carbon nanotubes?

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. They have a diameter of a few nanometers and can be several millimeters long. They are very strong, lightweight, and have unique thermal and electrical properties.

What is thermal stability?

Thermal stability refers to the ability of a material to maintain its physical and chemical properties when exposed to high temperatures. In the case of carbon nanotubes, this means that they can withstand high temperatures without changing their structure or properties.

How are carbon nanotubes used in electronics?

Carbon nanotubes have excellent electrical conductivity, which makes them useful in electronics. They can be used to create transistors, sensors, and other components in electronic devices. Their small size also makes them ideal for use in miniaturized electronics.

What factors affect the thermal stability of carbon nanotubes?

The thermal stability of carbon nanotubes can be affected by several factors, including their structure, purity, and the presence of impurities. The length and diameter of the nanotubes can also play a role, as well as the type of bonding between the carbon atoms.

What is the relationship between thermal stability and electric conductibility in carbon nanotubes?

Thermal stability and electric conductibility are closely related in carbon nanotubes. As the temperature increases, the conductibility of the nanotubes also increases, but only up to a certain point. At very high temperatures, the structure of the nanotubes can start to degrade, which can affect their conductibility.
