From Laboratory to Industrial Manufacture
Carbon nanotubes or nanotube compounds (NTCs) represent a new crystalline form of carbon.
In 1991, the Japanese scientist Sumio Iijima synthesized fullerenes by electric arc, and during his analysis work discovered a hard, black and fibrous product: carbon nanotubes. Although this discovery is relatively recent, the prospects opened by this new material, together with previous studies on carbon fibers, have allowed synthesis processes to develop very fast.
