Interesting Facts about Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Single walled carbon nanotubes  shortened as SWNTs are an allotrope of sp2 hybridized carbon. Individual Single walled carbon nanotubes are stronger than steel, and also have current conveying limits of 109 amp/cm2, higher than those of Au or Cu. Furthermore, semiconducting species show higher electron mobility than silicon. As a rule, the coverings formed with  Single walled carbon nanotubes  are exceedingly transparent in the visible and IR locales of the spectrum, letting Single walled carbon nanotubes supplant  ITO  as the transparent conductor for solar cells, displays and electroluminescent lighting and so on. Room temperature heat conductivity of a  single wall carbon nanotube  might be practically identical to that of diamond or in-plane graphite, which are for the most part thought to show the highest measured thermal conductivity of any known material at normal temperatures. Most Single walled carbon nanotubes have a diameter of about 1 nano...
