Re: CNT Aerogels

Images of aerogels. a) Macroscopic pieces of 7.5 mgmL–1 CNT aerogels. Pristine CNT aerogel (left) appears black, whereas the aerogel reinforced in a 1 wt% PVA bath (right) is slightly gray. b) Three PVA-reinforced aerogel pillars (total mass = 13.0 mg) supporting 100 g, or ca. 8000 times their weight. c) This scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a critical-point-dried aerogel reinforced in a 0.5 wt% PVA solution (CNT content = 10 mgmL–1) reveals an open, porous structure. d) This high-magnification transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of an un-reinforced aerogel reveals small-diameter CNTs arranged in a classic filamentous network.

Re: CNT Aerogels
I want a giant slab of this to sweep through orbital debris.
