Miralon由相互連接、長格式的納米管束組成，主要生產薄板、紗線、膠帶和分散產品.它非常輕，堅固，具有延展性和導電性能，并使熱傳輸跨越幾種材料格式和應用。

　　掌握納米級物質控制的復雜性，是應用納米技術造福工業過程的革命性探索的一部分。這項技術的一個關鍵要素是碳納米管的使用。

　　碳納米管是一種小的空心管，直徑為0.7~50納米，長度一般為幾十微米。而超小的碳納米管提供了大量的特性。

　　例如，材料可以表現出優異的強度，但仍然非常輕。想想看，鋼的強度是200倍，彈性是5倍。為了更好地測量，它們提供了高效的導電和熱導率.
 

　　NASA has contracted with Nanocomp, a Huntsman company, for the continued development of their high-strength, carbon-based material called Miralon.

　　NASA and Nanocomp to develop carbon nanotube composites

　　Composed of interconnected, long-format nanotube bundles, Miralon is produced as sheets, yarn, tape and dispersed products. It is extremely lightweight, strong, ductile, and electrically conductive, and enables thermal transport across several material formats and applications.

　　Mastering the intricacies of controlling matter at the nanoscale level is part of a revolutionary quest to apply nanotechnology to benefit industrial processes. A key element of that technology is the use of carbon nanotubes.

　　Carbon nanotubes are small hollow tubes with diameters of 0.7 to 50 nanometers and lengths generally in the tens of microns. While ultra-small, carbon nanotubes offer big-time attributes.

　　For instance, materials can be manufactured that exhibit superior strength but are still extremely lightweight. Think in terms of 200 times the strength and five times the elasticity of steel. For good measure, add in that they offer highly-efficient electrical and thermal conductivity.
