background

● Demand for wiring material with large current capacity
● CNT has 1000 times larger current capacity than metal
● It is difficult to achieve both high electrical conductivity and large current capacity by single material

summary

● CNT yarn was drawn from vertically aligned CNT array
● CNT composite yarn was developed by electrolytic plating
● Controlling of plating by changing plating condition
● Superior electrical conductivity (2.14×107 S/m)

predominance

● Superior specific electrical conductivity
● Low temperature dependency of resistivity
● Possibility of high productivity
● Enough strength as wiring material (0.9 GPa)

application/development

● Large current capacity wiring of electronic device
● High output motor utilizing small inertia moment
● High-frequency cable for audiovisual apparatus
