[6]Creating strong macroscale Carbon nanotube material
[7]Back in 2006, then Los Alamos researcher Yuntian Zhu was making 4
centimeter long strands of carbon nanotubes and was talking about
forming Superthreads out of it with 100 times the strength of steel.
The actual GPa strength was not mentioned in the online article.

[14]Yuntian Zhu is now at NC State and is now making shorter arrays of
carbon nanotubes This research paper does mention that the tensile
strength and stiffness of these CNT fibers were measured in the range
1.35 to 3.3 GPa and 100 to 263 GPa, respectively. CNT fibers have an
extremely low density, (0.2 ± 0.01) g cm-3, which is one-tenth the
density of a commercial carbon fiber and about one-fortieth the
density of steel. [15]Yuntian is working with CNT Technologies to
commercialize this material.
This equals 6.5 to 16.5 GPa g/cc.
They calculated the toughness (the work needed to break the fiber) of
a CNT fiber as (975 ± 49) J g-1, which is comparable to the toughness
of a recently reported single-walled nanotube/poly(vinyl alcohol)
(SWNT/PVA) composite fiber (870 J g-1);[15] higher than the toughness
of a similar fiber reported previously (570 J g-1);[13] and much
higher than carbon fibers(12 J g-1), Kevlar fibers (33 J g-1), and CNT
fibers reported previously (14-20 J g-1). The toughness of Zhu's CNT
fibers ranged from (110 ±5) to (975 ± 49) J g-1.
[16]From a April, 2008 paper Zhu discusses growth of ultralong (4.7
mm) double wall carbon nanotube (DWCNT) arrays.
The growth of long spinnable arrays has already led to the production
of nanotube fibers that are much stronger per weight than any current
engineering material or fiber. We expect to grow even longer spinnable
nanotube arrays for spinning stronger nanotube fibers (yarns).
[17]An online patent discusses the work and processes
[18]A space elevator site is tracking the progress of carbon nanotubes
toward the creation of suitable space elevator tethers.
In recent documents by other researchers:
In 2008, 40 GPa g/cc from Sparse (Carbon nanotubes) CNT Composite was
made.
"The extraordinary reinforcing efficiency of single-walled carbon
nanotubes in oriented poly(vinyl alcohol) tapes", Wang et al. IOP
Nanotechnology vol. 18 -
inferred strength of SWNTs from a 1% CNT reinforced plastic tape.
[19]In 2007, 9 GPa g/cc strenth material for millimeter lengths
"High-Performance Carbon Nanotube Fiber", Krzysztof Koziolet al,
Science Magazine, 2007 - Measurement of the strongest of a sample of
mm-long pure aggregated carbon nanotube fibers.
Goal 2010, 35 GPa g/cc for 1000 km x mm
Minimal value for Space Elevator ribbon, Taper Ratio=6.3 with 33%
safety factor.
Comparative Ribbon Mass = 4.6 - May require more efficient power
system.
Goal 2011, 50 GPa g/cc for 1000 km x mm
Basic value for Space Elevator ribbon, Taper Ratio=3.5 with 33% safety
factor.
Comparative Ribbon Mass = 2.0
Goal 2012, 80 GPa g/cc for 1000 km x mm
Desirable value for Space Elevator ribbon, Taper Ratio=2.5 with 50%
safety factor.
Comparative Ribbon Mass = 1.0
[20]The 2008 work by Z Wang is getting a follow up navy study for
increased percentages of carbon nanotubes in plastic
This STTR requests proposals that develop a clear scientific
understanding of the main obstacles to ultrahigh CNT loading in
nanocomposites and that proposes new methods or approaches to
increasing the loading of well dispersed CNTs in structural resins
beyond 10% weight fraction.
