DexMat has the capability to process low-defect, single-walled, and few-walled CNTs into fibers and yarns. 0.5 grams of CNTs are required to evaluate whether fibers can be produced from any given CNT material. If the evaluation shows that the CNTs can be processed into fibers by DexMat, then the customer will have the option to purchase fibers made out of these CNTs.
For a fee, DexMat will insulate CNT yarns with either heat shrink tubing or by braiding nylon thread around the CNT yarn. Currently, insulation is only available for select sizes of CNT yarn.
CNT fibers or yarns can be braided over cables to serve as an EMI shield. DexMat can braid over a wide range of cable diameters. In addition, DexMat can also braid nylon thread over CNT yarns to insulate the yarns.
Abstract: NASA is challenged to find ways of effectively shielding sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) without adding significant weight to space flight vehicles and satellites (the heavier they are the more fuel they need to achieve orbit). EMI shielding for wire and cables is an attractive opportunity for weight reduction. However, with the advent […]

DexMat Carbon Nanotube Film: Will it Tear?
/0 Comments/in How-To Videos /by Colin YoungThe films and yarns manufactured by DexMat are made from well-aligned carbon nanotubes; they are resistant to breaking or tearing across the direction of that alignment. However, when working with these materials it is helpful to keep in mind that their toughness is much lower when the aligned layers are pulled apart. As this video […]
