Traditionally electrical charges are carried and sometimes shielded using metal but this isn't ideal- especially if the current has to run past or through explosive material like petrol tanks. The solution: Carbon Nanotubes. Microphase have mixed polymers (extracted from biomass) with their nanotubes and produced stronger, safer, and more electrically conductive materials then their metallic equivalent. According to Microphase, some of the most recent Boeing aircrafts employ this technology.
Nanotubes are a hot topic in the world of nanotechnology, but what are they?

Developed at Florida State University, buckypaper is composed of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and it could revolutionize the way everything from airplanes to TVs are made. CNTs have amazing mechanical, electrical, photonic and thermal properties. In buckypapers the nanotubes can either be randomly oriented or aligned in a high-magnetic field, based upon the specific properties desired in the composites. The High Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) and FSU has produced the world's largest magnetically aligned buckypaper.
