Inexpensive plastic now used to manufacture CDs and DVDs could soon find its way inside aircraft, computer and iPhone electronics. With a pair of grants from the US Air Force, Shay Curran, associate professor of physics at University of Houston, and his research team have demonstrated ultra-high electrical conductive properties in plastics, called polycarbonates, by mixing them with just the right amount and type of carbon nanotubes, researchers said in a release. Making this cheap plastic highly conductive could benefit all manner of electronics from military aircraft to personal computers, the researchers said. Full Story.
