Carbon Nano tubes become easier to produce

I'm sure that the application for this in the stick world could mean stronger sticks but I'm sure that it will not cause the price to go down.

Lets not forget that Easton claimed to be mass producing them years ago [CNT Line]. Now there is some marketing BS.

[kovalchuk71 212]

No they never claimed that. They used carbon nanotube "technology". Technology being the key word. They never specifically said that there were Carbon Nanotubes in the stick.

The implication was that they were using them though.

Oh no, I hope gxc999 doesn't see this thread.

On easton's CNTs didn't a sticker on the blade say "made of the strongest material man will ever produce" or something?

CNT "the strongest fiber man will ever produce"

- molecular level strengthening

- the ultimate engineering polymer

- 25X strength of conventional graphites

They never actually say the stick is made with CNT, but the implication is strong in this one.

I think this all is a little bit of mistranslation (i know the source and everything as we've all discussed it many times.)... Nanosolve is a suspension that does contain CNTs, there's no mimicing in any way. The fact of the matter is whether or not they're using them at any concentration to reap any dividends from them; which, from my professional experience they didnt...

not to mention... to be of any sort of benefit, you cant just mix the shit in with the resin, like you would using nanosolve. You'd need to have the CNTs be anisotropic so that they dont counteract each other, making the stick stiffer than all hell.

Additionally, from a cursory glance, IMO i dont think the original story in this thread is going to be of any benefit to hockey sticks. I'll qualify that with the fact that I didnt read any sort of research paper related to these sheets.

Dr. Nano is still my hero. ;)

How many years until we see clear sticks that light up when you hit the puck?

Carbon nanotubes possess a number of qualities – high tensile strength, high flexibility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and transparency

Oh no, I hope gxc999 doesn't see this thread.

You've convinced me, there obviously is no CNT material in the CNT Stealth or S17. I mean, Easton, what a bunch of liars. And get this! The Synergy "Elite" isn't actually Elite at all! Seriously though, atleast Easton is trying to do something to push the technology and products forward. Besides maybe TPS (messing around with dual and tri-flex zones etc), who else is even doing that?

Eh, that's a rehashed concept - Bauer did it 7 yrs ago.

ummm... Mission with their titanium sticks, RBK o-shit, TPS using XN10, I dont want to but i will -Warrior spyne. Just sayin, Easton isn't the only one out there pushing new technologies in sticks

I wasnt aware that pre-law qualified you to claim the technology is viable in hockey sticks.

isn't Montreal using this nano tube tech in their sticks?

so that would be warrior nowdays
