Abstract
A composition includes a carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn or sheet and a plurality of carbon nanostructures (CNSs) infused to a surface of the CNT yarn or sheet, wherein the CNSs are disposed substantially radially from the surface of the CNT yarn or outwardly from the sheet. Such compositions can be used in various combinations in composite articles.
Claims14
A composition comprising:
- a carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn;
- and
- a plurality of carbon nanostructures (CNSs) infused to a surface of the carbon nanotube yarn;
- wherein the CNSs are disposed substantially radially from the surface of the CNT yarn.
An article comprising a plurality of CNT yarns in a bundle, each of the plurality of CNT yarns of the bundle comprising a plurality of carbon nanostructures (CNSs) infused to a surface of each of the plurality carbon nanotube yarns, the CNSs being disposed substantially radially from the surfaces of each of the plurality of CNT yarns.
A composition comprising:
- a carbon nanotube sheet;
- and
- a plurality of carbon nanostructures (CNSs) infused to at least one surface of the sheet, the CNSs being disposed substantially outward from the at least one surface of the sheet.
A multilayered article comprising a plurality of CNT sheets, each CNT sheet of the plurality of CNT sheets comprising a plurality of carbon nanostructures (CNSs) infused to at least one surface of each of the plurality of CNT sheets, the CNSs being disposed on the surface of the carbon nanotubes yarn.
