Understanding the Role of Carbon Nanotubes in Coatings How Carbon Nanotubes Contribute to High Strength When used in protective coatings for steel, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer a wide host of benefits. Above all else, CNTs are best known for their incredible strength despite their nanoscopic size. They also offer unrivaled electrical conductivity and unique chemical and physical bonds, which makes them a prime choice for an offshore coating additive. To understand the magnitude of the improvements that CNTs can make in a coating, we must first understand the performance issues that fault traditional coatings. The CNT Matrix in [...]
