The operational window of carbon nanotube electrical wires treated with strong acids and oxidants
Abstract Conventional metal wires suffer from a significant degradation or complete failure in their electrical performance, when subjected to harsh oxidizing environments, however wires constructed from Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been found to actually improve in their electrical performance when...
