New nanotube material stays rubbery over a more than 1,000 degree temperature range

(PhysOrg.com) -- Silicone rubber is used in many applications in which a material is required to remain rubbery over a wide temperature range, since it retains its properties over the approximate range of -55°C to 300°C. Now a new material made of carbon nanotubes has been developed that retains its viscoelastic properties over a temperature range almost five times larger.
