Carbon, Cnt composite? Whats the difference? CNT composite stronger or the same?!
define 'stronger'.
cnt will be stronger per unit weight than standard carbon (because it's made of tubes). ultimate strength will be based on resin, layup and weight of carbon used etc.
cnt's have a similar problem with inahalation of dust etc as asbestos is my understanding so go careful when hacksawing...
Carbon Nano Tubes.
The weak point of carbon is the resin holding the carbon weave together. So easton have some new resin that has carbon nano tubes in it, makes the resin stronger as it fills any voids etc etc.
And yes it's alot better.

Thing is, do they still have similar dampening properties?
