AI Thread Summary
There is currently no definitive chart or data table that consolidates the properties of advanced materials like carbon nanotubes or carbon fibers due to their experimental nature and variations in alignment, method, and composition. The properties such as tensile strength, toughness, and conductivity can vary significantly based on these factors. Creating a comprehensive chart is challenging as many materials are still not widely used in industry due to high costs. Researchers are encouraged to compile their own data based on specific interests and requirements. The pursuit of understanding these materials continues to be an active area of research.

I was wondering if there was a definitive chart/data table with the properties of such a material. Many time has been spent looking through many papers, yet I am yet to find a table with for instance ... max tensile strength, max toughness, max conductivity
I know there are many variations of this 'material' - alignment, method, % nanotube/carbon fibre etc etc, but any ideas on the 'ultimate' material or current limits?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not to sound mean, but make your own if you have looked through all these papers. I doubt there is one chart for everything as these are still mostly experimental and I doubt they are in much if any industrial use yet due to their cost. All the properties you mentioned could be highly dependent on all those factors you mentioned and many others, thus you would need to decide what you care about and make your own.

Yea for research!
