Carbon Nanotubes

$0.00

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical nanostructures composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, resembling rolled-up sheets of graphene. They exist in two primary forms:

  • Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs): Consist of a single graphene cylinder

  • Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs): Composed of multiple concentric graphene layers

Key Properties:

  • Exceptional mechanical strength: Tensile strength up to 100× greater than steel while remaining lightweight

  • Excellent electrical conductivity: Comparable to metals, enabling use in conductive applications

  • Superior thermal conductivity: Efficient heat dissipation for high-performance materials

  • High aspect ratio and nanoscale dimensions: Ideal for reinforcement and functional nanocomposites

Bedford Specialty Sales Offering:

  • Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) suitable for a range of industrial and research applications

Typical Applications:

  • Reinforcement in polymers, composites, and elastomers for enhanced mechanical performance

  • Conductive coatings, films, and inks

  • Thermal management solutions in electronics and advanced materials

  • Research and development in nanotechnology and advanced materials
