Exploiting the effect of twisting on the electrical resistance of a single-walled carbon nanotube rope to trigger ignition using a 9-V battery Original Research Article

The effect of twisting on the electrical resistance of a raw single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) rope was investigated and found to increase with increasing number of twists, varying from 28.7 Ω initially to 35.2 Ω after 12 twists. There are two reasons
