Lower Resistance, Higher Performance: The g-CNT Edge

Why Graphenated Carbon Nanotubes (g-CNTs) are a game-changer for bulk materials compared to standard CNTs?

It isn't about the individual nanotube’s speed; it’s all about how they connect!

When you move from a single nanostructure to a bulk network (like a composite or film), the performance bottleneck is junction resistance.

Standard CNTs only touch at tiny points, creating high tunneling barriers for electrons.

The g-CNT advantage lies in the "Graphene Foliates" grown on the sidewalls.

These act as:
✅ Massive conductive bridges
✅ Increased contact area between neighbors
✅ Additional conductive routes through the network

By drastically reducing junction resistance, g-CNTs unlock superior bulk conductivity, better percolation thresholds, and enhanced EMI shielding performance.
