Scientists using carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and polymer film to develop new fabrics: can resist chemical and biological weapons
Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used carbon nanotubes and flexible polymer film to make synthesis of a breathable, lightweight fabric, wihch could help soldiers against the chemical and biological weapons. A unique channel created by Carbon Nanotubes has achieved a good air permeability. Meanwhile, the density of the fabric, of which was only 5 nm pore diameter was quite high. It is understood that biological weaponsa such as viruses, usually it's bigger than 10 nm in size. In the experiment, the scientists confirmed that the new material is with the ability to repel dengue virus. At the same time, to make the research results protects against chemical weapons also, scientists used some chemical-sensitive materials to improve carbon nanotubes, and ultimately achieved the goal.
Here sells purest and cheapest Carbon Nanotubes in the world. Carbon nanotubes is available with different purity grades and surface functionalization. Carbon Nanotubes is produced by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method by HW NANO and depending on the diameter one can obtain either single-walled Carbon Nanotubes(SWCNTs) ,double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs)or multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Our current capacity for the production of MWCNTs far exceeds that of other suppliers.
Spec of carbon nanotubes:
1) SWCNT: diameter: 2nm, Length: short tube 1-2um and long tube 5-20um, purity: >91%,95%,99%
2) DWCNT: diameter: 2-5nm, Length: short tube 1-2um and long tube 5-20um, purity: >91%,95%,99%
3) MWCNT: diameter: 8-20nm,30-60nm,60-100nm, Length: short tube 1-2um and long tube 5-20um, purity: >99%
4) Low purity for the three ones above are all available.
5) Functionalized carbon nanotubes: COOH-CNTs, OH-CNTs, Amino-CNTs, Metal coated CNTs...
6) Dispersion: CNTs water dispersion, and CNTs oil dispersion.
