Product Description
MIRALON® Yarn products are carbon-based fibers that can be used in a variety of applications to lightweight and provide enhanced mechanical and electrical performance. These yarns are composed of millions of aligned filaments of structured carbon. Unlike conventional carbon fibers, the internal carbon structures transfer load by van der Waals forces, not covalent bonds. This results in yarns that are laterally flexible, fatigue, and impact resistant, but are stiff, strong, and both thermally and electrically conductive in the axial direction.
Applications
- Structural reinforcement
- Antennas
- High frequency digital/signal and RF applications
- Embedded electronics
- EMI & ESD protection
- Resistive heating
Features
- Fatigue resistant
- High strength; ability to stitch, weave, braid
- Highly flexible
- Electrically conductive
- Lightweight
- Thermally conductive

Product Name
- Miralon Yarn, Thread, String - 2ply & 4ply Carbon (Graphene) Nanotubes (Y-T02C-10-4, Y-T02C-10-2, 100079, 100549)
Brief Description
- Miralon Yarn is a high-performance, carbon-based fiber composed of millions of aligned filaments of structured carbon (graphene) nanotubes.- It is engineered to provide enhanced mechanical and electrical performance while being exceptionally lightweight.- Unlike conventional carbon fibers, its internal carbon structures transfer load via van der Waals forces, which contributes to its unique properties.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Structural reinforcement in composites and pressure vessels.- Antennas and high-frequency digital/signal and RF applications.- Embedded electronics, current collectors in batteries, and EMI & ESD protection.- Lightweight wiring and data cables in aerospace and automotive industries.- Resistive heating elements.- Smart textiles, wearable electronics, and protective clothing.- Medical applications such as wearable electrodes for EKG measurement and neuromodulation platforms.- High-performance concrete and longer-lasting tires.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Colleges & Universities- Construction/ Building Services- Electrical Services or Products- Energy- Engineering Services- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Prosumer- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Composed of millions of aligned filaments of structured carbon (nanotubes).- Laterally flexible, fatigue-resistant, and impact-resistant.- Can be stitched, woven, and braided like traditional textiles.- Offers significant weight reduction compared to traditional materials like copper.- Maintains flexibility and durability even when integrated into fabrics.- Machine washable when integrated into textiles.- Can be tailored for specific dielectric and electrical properties.
Key Properties
- Lightweight: Significantly lighter than traditional conductive materials.- High Strength: Up to 25 times stronger than steel (specific strength).- Electrically Conductive: Provides efficient electrical conductivity.- Thermally Conductive: Efficient thermal conductivity.- Flexible: Laterally flexible and can undergo many bend cycles.- Fatigue Resistant: Resists fatigue failures.- Impact Resistant: Offers resistance to impact.- Corrosion Resistant: Does not burn, melt, or corrode.- High Aspect Ratio: Individual CNTs have a very high length-to-diameter ratio.
Surface Compatibility
- Can be incorporated into composites.- Can be stitched, woven, or braided into fabrics and textiles.- Can be wrapped around structures like rocket fuel tanks.- Used as current collectors in battery electrodes.- Compatible with existing contacts for termination, similar to copper wire.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Conventional Carbon Fibers: Miralon Yarn offers enhanced mechanical and electrical performance.- Copper Wire/Conductors: Miralon Yarn is a lightweight, flexible, and more durable alternative.- Metallic Solutions: Replaced by Miralon for ESD protection in spacecraft.- Kevlar: Mentioned in the context of ballistic protection, where CNT yarn could also be used.- Carbon Black: Miralon (graphene nanotubes) offers superior functionality and requires less material for conductivity.- Other Carbon Nanotube Yarns: Competitors like DexMat also produce CNT yarns.
Comparison Note
- Miralon Yarn distinguishes itself from traditional materials by offering a unique combination of extreme lightness, high strength (up to 25 times stronger than steel by specific strength), and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.- Unlike metals, it is highly flexible, fatigue-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for demanding applications where traditional materials fail or are too heavy.- Its textile-like nature allows for integration into fabrics through stitching, weaving, or braiding, opening up possibilities for smart textiles and wearable electronics that are not feasible with rigid or less durable conductors.- While potentially more expensive than some conventional materials, its superior performance and multi-functionality can lead to overall system benefits, such as significant weight reduction in aerospace, which translates to fuel savings.
