I'm trying to gather properties of carbon nanotubes and compare them to other materials, but I can't find anything about its thermal stability and electric conductibility. Any suggestions where to search?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
