Ngenxa yesilinganiso sayo esiphakeme (ngaphakathi kwamashumi ama-nanometers ububanzi, ama-micron amaningana kumakhulu ama-microns ubude), ama-carbon nanotubes yizinto ezinhle kakhulu zefayikhi njengamanje, ezibonise izakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu zemishini kanye nezinto zikagesi ezihlukile. Kuyajabulisa ukuthi ngoba kuyinto enezinto ezicijile ngesakhiwo esingenalutho, singasetshenziswa njengesifanekiso sokulungiselela uhlobo olusha lwezinto ezibonakalayo ezinobukhulu.

Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi i-modulus ye-verage young ye-carbon nanotube eyodwa ye-carbon nanotube yi-1.88PA, ikhombisa izakhiwo ze-super mehendi; Amandla okugoba yi-14.2gpa, ekhombisa ubulukhuni be-super. Ngakho-ke, ama-carbon nanotubes azoba nethemba elihle emkhakheni wezinto ezihlanganisiwe. Kodwa-ke, i-nickel plating ngepayipi layo le-nickle Plate yalo ebiwodongeni le-carbon nanobuts ni-MWcnt lizothuthukisa futhi izakhiwo ezibonakalayo ezifana nokuvuselelwa, ukumelana nokugqwala, ubunzima kanye nokuthambisa. Akunakusetshenziswa kuphela njengezinto ezithuthukisiwe zokuphatha, kepha futhi njenge-coating yokulwa nokuphikisana, nokuvimbela ukumelana nokufaka uphawu, ukwengeza impahla yensimbi, ukunqoba isibopho esingesihle phakathi kwe-carbon nanotubes kanye nensimbi matrix. Lesi yisinyathelo esisemqoka esiseduze sokulungiselela izinto ezihlanganisiwe ze-composite nge-carbon nanotubes.
