Ultrabreathable and Protective Membranes with Sub-5 nm Carbon Nanotube Pores

Small‐diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are shown to enable exceptionally fast transport of water vapor under a concentration gradient driving force. Thanks to this property, membranes having sub‐5 nm CNTs as conductive pores feature outstanding breathability while maintaining a high degree of protec...

Zusammenfassung:Small‐diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are shown to enable exceptionally fast transport of water vapor under a concentration gradient driving force. Thanks to this property, membranes having sub‐5 nm CNTs as conductive pores feature outstanding breathability while maintaining a high degree of protection from biothreats by size exclusion.
