Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites

Carbon nanotube polymer composites are materials made by combining tiny cylindrical structures of carbon, known as carbon nanotubes, with a polymer (a type of plastic). These nanotubes are incredibly strong and lightweight, which enhances the properties of the polymer. When mixed, they create a composite that is stronger, more conductive, and more durable than the polymer alone. This combination has applications in various fields, including electronics, materials science, and aerospace, offering the potential for lighter and stronger products, improved electrical performance, and greater resistance to heat and wear.
