Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene - Research and Applications

"We can make newer and better materials," said David Fowler, an epoxy expert and engineer at the University of Texas. "I suspect from nanotechnology we'll probably come up with a new generation of adhesives."

A.T. Charlie Johnson, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania, mixed tiny carbon nanotubes into epoxy. The material got somewhat stronger, and its ability to conduct heat changed, he said.
