Application of multiwall carbon nanotubes to increase the wear resistance of electrical contacts

Abstract

Present thesis, is an interdisciplinary project intended to develop an easy applicable, wear durable and electrical contact enhancer for electrical connectors. Employing an already extensively explored carbon nanotubes (discovered by Iijima [1] in 1991) deposition technique [2]–[10]. To increase the desired the key parameters demanded for electrical junctions. Being wear resistance improvement already described by several investigators [11]–[17], it remains to see if it is also possible to achieve an augment in the electrical contact resistance facet.
