Abstract | A single-walled nanotube (SWNT), similar to a sheet of graphene, rolls over to form a tube with the longest ends joined together to form a cylinder, and theoretically possesses superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this regard, graphene has been referred to as an infinite alternant (only a six-member carbon ring). Mechanical property tests showed that graphene has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel. However, the process of separating it from graphite, where it occurs naturally, will require some technological developments before it becomes economical enough to be used in industrial processes. |
