Nano’s big future
Carbon nanotubes are exceedingly small?�-?�10,000 times thinner than a human hair -?�but they have massive potential.?�“Carbon nanotubes are carbon atoms that are arranged in a particular way, and which give this new material very particular properties, such as the capacity to conduct electricity, or mechanical strengthening in?�composites,” explains Francis Massin, the managing director of?�Nanocyl?�Mix them into polymers, resins or water?�and off you go.?�Nanocyl’s technical director Michael Claes went into more detail: “We?�blend this carbon nanotube powder with?�plastic to form these granules.?�“Then by spinning?�it out we turn?�it into textiles. These jackets work as sensors, so for example for temperature, or as a gas sensors.?�Also for the mechanical strength, a bike wheel.?�We can make fuel pumps out of it.?�“Another application, a lot larger, is this barrel, which replaces metal barrels, it’s a plastic barrel which can conduct electricity.”?�?�Nanocyl has been a partner in several European Union?�initiatives to develop nanotechnology.?�They are now?�starting to commercialise one research project?�result – a fabric that conducts electricity -?� that would be integrated into buildings in earthquake-prone areas.?�?�“If I show you this demonstrator, here we have a textile in which you can see these black fibres which are filled with carbon nanotubes,” Claes continued.?�“Simply flexing the post here the movement, which could be linked to a fracture, is transformed into a signal which is then detected by the operator.”?�Nanotechnology is shaking up the world of manufacturing, but that does not mean it is easy to break into new markets.?�?�“The biggest challenge is that industry in general is very conservative, and so moving from the semi-industrial lab?�level to?�the industrial level takes a lot of time and?�a lot of investment,” said Francis Massin.?�“You’re looking at an investment in the order of 20 to 50 million euros to really take a new material from laboratory stage to industrial level.” www.nanocyl.com Copyright © 2011 euronews
