Buckypaper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes that is approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. A single carbon nanotube is 200 times stronger than steel yet only 1/6 the weight. Buckypaper has potential applications as vehicle armor, personal armor, and in next-generation electronics and displays due to its strength, heat dissipation, electromagnetic interference shielding, and electroconductivity. It can be 10 times lighter than steel yet 500 times stronger when stacked.

2. • Bucky paper is an arrangement of carbon nanotubes, which unlock the power
of nano .
• A single carbon nanotube is 200* stronger than steel at 1/6 the weight.
• Buckypaper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes or
carbon nanotube grid paper.
• The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Originally, it was fabricated as a way to handle carbon nanotubes, but it is
also being studied and developed into applications by several research
groups, showing promise as vehicle armor, personal armor, and next-
generation electronics and displays

3. #These carbon nano tubes can be arranged to enhance specfic properties like
• EMI sheilding
• Stremgth
• Electroconductivity
• Heat dissipation
#Buckypaper is a macroscopic aggregate of carbon nanotubes (CNT), or
"buckytubes". It owes its name to the buckminsterfullerene, the 60 carbon
fullerene

5. • The generally accepted methods of making CNT films involves the use of
non-ionic surfactants, such as Triton X-100 and sodium lauryl sulfate which
improves their dispersibility in aqueous solution. These suspensions can
then be membrane filtered under positive or negative pressure to yield
uniform films. The van der Waals force’s interaction between the nanotube
surface and the surfactant can often be mechanically strong and quite stable
and therefore there are no assurances that all the surfactant is removed from
the CNT film after formation. Washing with methanol, an effective solvent in
the removal of Triton X, was found to cause cracking and deformation of the
film
• Buckypaper is one tenth the weight yet potentially 500 times stronger than
steel when its sheets are stacked to form a composite. It could disperse heat
like brass or steel and it could conduct electricity like copper or silicon.
• Eg: wind mill

6. : These bucky composites provides
protection from lightning strikes while reducing overall weight and
improves the structural integrity , wireless data transfer through the
composite material
: These coposite plane needs
metal mesh but adds weight and corrosion issues.
: This is heavy with poor fuel economy

8. They can store energy and they are reducing
weight and size. Reduces even the usage of fuel contained.
They need of traditional batteries and the fuel . So
they are more weighted and large of size occupations.
They need to be reached often.Ofcourse batteries are
used.
• These are even used in smart windows and fabric.(dresses
used in hospitals)
