What makes carbon nano tube gives such strength?

Carbon nano tubes are considered as one of the strongest material when mixed with a matrix material like epoxy and polymer to form nano composites. Their structural strength or load bearing capacity is even multiple times higher than structural steel if properly fabricated. The most important property which nanocomposites possess is their very high strength to weight ratio. Strength to weight ratio is a very important parameter in composite technology to rate composite on the basis of their structural properties. Also, depends on the stacking sequence, carbon nano tubes gives excellent structural properties in different-different arrangement of its layers in composites like unidirectional arrangement, bi-directional arrangement, skew arrangement etc.
