Carbon nanotubes make fuel safe

摘要

Baytubes from Bayer MaterialScience (Le-verkusen, Germany; www.bayermaterial science.de) are keeping the risk of fuel explosions at bay in a novel injection molded device called the Safeball. The carbon nanotube-based nanocompos-ite is molded by Hirtenberger Pro-safe Safety Technology GmbH (HPST; Hirten-berg, Austria).
