When the Canatu CNTs are deposited on a substrate using our unique dry deposition<\/a> method, they form a random network of carbon nanotubes. Most of the area on the substrate is \u201cempty\u201d, allowing light to pass through freely.

In contrast, multi walled carbon nanotubes are stronger and more rigid. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring CNT film deposition under the dry deposition method, the Canatu CNTs fall in a curved and curled manner on the substrate. When the resulting films are stretched, the Canatu CNT molecules get straightened and slide easily over each other. This is the secret behind the unique stretchability of the Canatu CNT films. In practice, the substrate materials mechanical properties set the limit for the Canatu CNT film stretchability, not the CNT material itself.
