presented helmet manufacturer Schuberth the first prototype of a Integral helmet that was manufactured with the so-called CNT technology. The special production process to the helmet with less weight, a higher degree of security.
The prototype of the CNT-helmet from Schuberth.
Normally, in the preparation of a cell of a safety helmet, a fiber fabric impregnated with resin and then cure. In the CNT method (CNT: carbon nanotubes) additional microscopic carbon tubes are inserted into the resin to provide a further filler material for increased strength. As these tubes have a much higher specific strength than steel or carbon fibers, is to increase the stability of the helmet and therefore offer more security than standard models.
The advantages of this method are, according to the manufacturer, a higher resistance with lower weight and lower manufacturing costs because less material is needed. Further information about the weight of such a CNT makes Schuberth helmet so far not.
Up is for the market, according to Schuberth, however, take some time, because the manufacturing process has been optimized and the Helm nor the internal approval test must pass. To promote this technology, there is the by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research supported research network Inno.CNT (Innovation Alliance Carbon Nanotubes).
