Abstract

The ignition of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCN) caused by an electric current applied across a nanotube sample was investigated. A spark-induced ignition was imitated by allowing one lead of the dc power supply to be in constant contact with the SWNTwhilee wwhile the other lead was briefly touched to another area of the sample. The current threshold for the SWNT ignition was found to be independent of the sample length. The unique properties of SWNT caused heat accumulation, which lead to heat accumulation.
