Microphase Carbon Nanotubes : DigInfo
DigInfo- http://movie.diginfo.tv/ Traditionally electrical charges are carried and sometimes shielded using metal but this isn’t ideal- especially if the current has to run past or through explosive material like petrol tanks. The solution: Carbon Nanotubes. Microphase have mixed polymers (extracted from biom ) with their nanotubes and produced stronger, safer, and more electrically conductive materials [...]
