Yet what if they could be merged with a metal like aluminium, or even spun into wires? An article by Lekawa-Raus et al. published in 2014 titled Electrical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Based ...

"Since the incorporation of graphene with an active second phase, such as carbon nanotubes, conducting polymers and metal oxides, can dramatically enhance the performance due to the synergistic ...

As the oxygen concentration in the samples increased owing to metal–substrate reactions, connected and percolating oxide networks were formed inside the nanotubes and nanosheets. In-situ ...

Well, we watch-less ones have something to look forward to, because a group of graduate students at Rice University have created extremely strong conductive thread woven from carbon nanotubes ...
