Several types of nanomaterials are employed for damping purposes, including:
- Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs): Known for their exceptional strength and flexibility, CNTs can be incorporated into composites to enhance their damping properties. - Graphene: This single layer of carbon atoms exhibits excellent mechanical and electrical properties, making it ideal for damping applications. - Nanofibers: These are used in various forms, such as polymeric nanofibers, to create materials with superior damping capabilities.
