Japanese researchers recently developed a pure carbon material that has excellent vibration characteristics, not only extend the capacity of self-restitution, and cold and heat, may be used in the aviation industry and automobile manufacturing.
Japan Institute of Industrial Science and Technology Xu Ming, a materials scientist (phonetic) 2, told Reuters that the new material like thick honey, can be extended, self-recovery.
"It's like a hole in a metal sponge, which consists of trillions of dollars a diameter of 5 nm of carbon tubes, when you stretch it and then let go, it will slowly recover their original state," Xu said.
Publication is scheduled for 3, "Science" magazine said that because this material has good ductility, it has excellent shock performance. Meanwhile, in the aerobic environment, it can withstand temperatures ranging from minus 196 degrees Celsius to 1000 degrees Celsius.
"This is a new and unique materials. It can be used in space, space shuttle or rocket used in the manufacture of the fuel tank can also be used to make car engines, to suspension," Xu said, "At this stage , no other materials can have the same characteristics. "
He said that the extension of properties of some new materials such as rubber, but it has good conductivity, so a wider range of applications than rubber.
