Polydiacetylene Nanotubes (PDNT) are self‐assembled diacetylene nanotubes comprised of cross‐linking of conjugated double and triple bonds. They are produced using a proprietary molecular self‐assembly process that results in remarkably uniform, pure, air‐stable blue nanotubes (ID 34nm, OD 98nm and length 1  ‐  3µm ). PDNT nanotubes exhibit thermochromism either on different substrates or in solvents. This unique thermo‐ and mechano‐ chromic behavior has been demonstrated to be completely reversible for hundreds cycles.

Polydiacetylene Nanotubes (PDNTs) are self-assembled diacetylene nanotubes comprised of cross-linking of conjugated double and triple bonds. These PDNTs have properties which include uniform dimensional structures and responsive chromic characteristics that can be utilized as is within a solution or self-assembled onto various substrates such as silica polymer and metal surfaces. PDNTs have been of great interest to chemists and biologists from universities, pharmaceutical companies, paint/coating companies, and opto/electronic companies in need of cheap, pure, predictable and well-defined lipids and chromatic nanotubes.

Polydiacetylene Nanotubes can be utilized in future products. Any mechanical stress will induce microstructural changes in the nanotube/polymer composite coatings, resulting in the color changes. The color changing paint could be utilized in situations where unwanted yielding to mechanical stress needs to be monitored and detected such as in the aluminum skins of aircraft, building components, critical bridge members, etc.

Polydiacetylene Nanotubes fibres is more likely to be derived from interactions between nanotubes and polymers and the unique electrical properties enabled by nanotubes. CNT/PDA fibres exhibit high conductivities with three-dimensional hopping conduction; that is, electrons hop from one nanotube to another inside a fibre.

We used Polydiacetylene Nanotubes for fabricated diode application to enhance the mechanical and thermal strength in batteries. Fortunately, we found very excellent desired results.
