Fabricating bio-inspired high impact resistance carbon nanotube network films for multi-protection under an extreme environment
Researchers found that the bio-inspired carbon nanotube network exhibits significantly higher toughness and impact resistance compared to conventional protective materials like steel and Kevlar. The fabrication of light-weight, highly impact-resistant, and energy-absorbent materials is urgently demanded in many facets of the society from body armor to aerospace engineering, especially under an extreme environment. Carbon nanotubes…
