Talk:Non-carbon nanotube

Bullet-proof vest

I disagree that inorganic nanotubes would be used for a bullet-proof vest, over carbon nanotubes. The whole reason that Kevlar is used, is because of its tensile strength, not its impact resistence. Azz301 (talk) 13:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Copper Nanotubes?

Perhaps there is a better example than copper, considering its abbreviation.

Yes. it is!

Additive influence on Cu nanotube electrodeposition in anodised aluminium oxide templates

Is this a good name

Is this meant to be all nanotubes apart from carbon (and maybe the metal carbides) ? Lots here about tungsten disulphide nanotubes - echoed on Tungsten(IV) sulfide. - Rod57 (talk) 07:41, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

I agree. Even carbon nanotubes technically do not qualify as organic compounds (since they are just carbon allotropes) but that hardly seems to be their main defining characteristic. I have seen many publications refer to this article's content as non-carbon nanotubes which seems like a better and more general concept. —Uzume (talk) 17:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
