Re: Update: Spinning Continuous Carbon Nanotube Yarns
"The reason for the strength shortfall of yarns compared to constituent nanotubes is implied by this as well to the trained reader: The yarns are composed of parellel filaments of varying lengths, held together by simple entangling, rather than chemical bonds or welding. As such a weak application of force can tear the CNT yarn asunder, , ,"
Thanks for the info.
