Research paper on conductivity of carbon nanotubes
The electronic properties of a multilayer carbon nanotube are determined more by the tube's diameter and the degree of helicity of its carbon wrapping than by the structure of the surface layer
Following the results of its second product certification event, the Universal Powerline Association (UPA) has granted five new interoperable home networking powerline communications products the 'UPA Plugtested' logo. UPA Plugtested products are independently tested for performance and interoperability.
Consumers can be sure that the products bearing the UPA Plugtested logo will work together for all their networking requirements.
UPA products are the only networking option available for the home or business that combine ease of installation with a consistent connection to deliver quality HD streaming.
A total of 12 UPA certified 200Mbit/s powerline products are available on the market today and were on display at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Products that successfully completed the Plugtest event conform to the Digital Home Standard Specification, UPA DHS v1.0, which guarantees performance, coexistence and interoperability for high-speed, HD quality powerline communications products.
Consumers can identify these standard compliant products by the special 'UPA Plugtested' logo that UPA grants successful manufacturers for use on the product, packaging and other marketing collateral.
'UPA Plugtested' products for the retail market are available in leading stores.
UPA Plugtested products for the IPTV or operator market are available by contacting directly with the manufacturers.
Unlike other powerline specifications, UPA standards ensure backward compatibility with no loss of interoperability between different generations of UPA products.
'Interoperability is the main goal of standardisation'.
'The UPA provides product manufacturers and members an open environment in which to test compatibility and interoperability of equipment, being a guarantee for the final customers', said Eric Morel, President of the UPA.
UPA's open standards and related compliance and interoperability programmes including the Plugtest event are driving the adoption of high speed 200Mbit/s powerline technology.
The products that received certification at the latest Plugtest were: the D-Link DHP-300 powerline Ethernet adapter and DHP-301 kit; the Pirelli IP522VD Discuss powerline adapter; the Toyonetz PL3-CPE-XE10A1A powerline Ethernet adapter; the Conceptronic CPNP 200 1-2-3 PowerPlug; and the Comtrend CT-901 powerline Ethernet adapter.
