Publication number: 20100330365Abstract: A strand-like material is formed of CNT yarns that are embedded in a metal matrix. The embedding in a common matrix has the advantage in that the material composite exhibits an improved electrical conductivity. This lies in the ability for electrons to switch from the CNT to the matrix and back again. The strand-like material composite is therefore suitable for use as an electrical conductor. Further proposed is a method for producing the strand-like material composite.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventors: Jörg Hassel, Hans-Richard Kretschmer, Daniel Reznik, Arno Steckenborn
