"Scientists produce carbon nanotubes using commercially available polymeric resins"
I'm not finding any comments on the web regarding this article.
No matter which way I read it, it seems to suggest that the NRL has cracked the Holy Grail of a low cost, CNT-based, macro-structure manufacturing method.
Is this vaporware or should I be checking the mail for my new nanotube-composite airplane?
(Sorry, as a noob it seems that I cannot post the link.)
At first i wanted to bust a gut since the competition now has methods of manufacturing mass quantities of carbon nanotubes, probably at a lower cost than graphite fibers. Then i realized something, my research projects that employ carbon nantoubes can all take advantage of cheap nanotubes to manufacture super high strength materials and carbon nanotube adhesives.

like velcro, it'll stick to wet rubber underwater.
I'm not losing sleep over that breakthrough now, I'm glad they discovered it. Vulvox will now commence researching satellite booms made form nanotubes, and aircraft parts and components for hypersonic transports, and materials to lighten cars and trucks that will lower greenhouse emissions form those vehicles. We also plan windmills made from bucktube materials! Vulvox has work under way on ceramic nanotubes and the world's toughest hardest ceramics for oil well drills and geothermal energy drills.
