SUMMARY

Carbon nanotube reinforced carbon fibre composites exhibit variable properties such as tensile strength, toughness, and conductivity, which are influenced by factors like alignment, method of production, and the percentage of nanotubes used. A definitive chart summarizing these properties does not exist due to the experimental nature of the materials and their limited industrial application. Researchers are encouraged to compile their own data tables based on specific parameters of interest, as existing literature does not provide a comprehensive overview.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of carbon nanotube properties
  • Familiarity with carbon fibre composites
  • Knowledge of material science and experimental methods
  • Ability to analyze and interpret scientific research papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes in composites
  • Explore methods for aligning carbon nanotubes in composite materials
  • Investigate the cost-benefit analysis of carbon nanotube reinforced composites
  • Learn about current industrial applications of carbon fibre composites
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, composite engineers, and researchers focused on advanced materials development will benefit from this discussion.

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!
