The 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 […]
Materials made of aligned carbon nanotubes are very tough, which makes them difficult to cut! This video provides a useful tip for cutting our aligned carbon nanotube yarn to a desired length using a sharp razor. A sharp pair of scissors can also work, so long as the yarn is under tension.

A demonstration of a test of ultimate tensile break force performed on a carbon nanotube yarn manufactured by DexMat.
Here we show the difference between raw carbon nanotubes and the carbon nanotube yarns and films that we make at DexMat.
