High Strength Over Density Ratio Invisible Cables

Materials Science 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Spiders suggest us that producing high strength over density ratio invisible cables could be of great importance. In this letter we show that such invisible cables could in principle be built, thanks to carbon nanotube bundles. Theoretical strength of about 10MPa, Young modulus of about 0.1GPa and density of 0.1Kg per cubic meter are estimated.
