Trying to work out is a space elevator was made from fullerenes, what is the tensile strength, is it near that of diamond? Please give something more specific than 20 times more than metal. Something in GPa would be good thanks!|||Comparison of Mechanical Properties
Material /Tensile Strength (GPa)
SWNT /13-53E
Armchair SWNT/126.2T
Zigzag SWNT /94.5T
Kevlar /3.5
E=Experimental observation
T=Theoretical prediction
SWNT= single wall nanotube
