Carbon nanotubes describe a family of nanomaterials made up entirely of carbon. In this family, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are of special interest because they can provide improved product solutions with benefits for people and for the environment.
Thanks to their high mechanical strength as well as their high electrical and thermal conductivity, they are mainly used as additives to improve plastics materials.
Key applications are in automotive and aircraft parts, anti-electrostatic and protective coatings as well as in some electronic devices.
