Unique Carbon Nanotube Structure Strengthens Thin Films for Use in Flexible Electronics

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have synthesized thin carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles that display both high electrical conductivity and a level of toughness that is approximately fifty times higher than copper films, presently employed in electronics. They drew inspiration from the structure of composites found in the ancient world and nature.
