NanotechWeb.org (July 2005)
This year’s Tour de France will see cyclists from the Phonak Team use a bike with a frame containing carbon nanotubes. To create the frame, BMC used a composite technology developed by U.S. sports equipment specialist Easton. The company’s “enhanced resin system” embeds carbon fibre in a resin matrix that’s reinforced with carbon nanotubes. Easton says that this improves strength and toughness in the spaces between the carbon fibres. Easton has partnered with nanomaterials specialist Zyvex, US, which supplies functionalized nanotubes for the system. Zyvex is able to treat nanotube surfaces so that the tubes disperse more easily in other materials. Read the completeannouncement.
