Nanotechnology Has a Growing Role in Sports Equipment, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Nanotechnology will grow in importance in the sports industry, as the strength and lightweight advantages of carbon nanotubes are utilized for such items as baseball bats, tennis rackets, bicycles, fishing rods, snow skis and golf clubs.  In addition, nanotech-based fabrics will be incorporated to a growing extent in sports apparel for added strength, stain resistance, moisture wicking or other benefits.

Carbon nanotubes are molecules of pure carbon atoms joined together to form tubes one-billionth of a meter in diameter.  Properly used, nanotubes offer amazing strength.  A nanotube can be vastly stronger than a similar quantity of steel.  Easton Cycling (www.eastoncycling.com ) is using nanotube technology in new sports products.  For example, the firm’s MonkeyLite handlebar offers high strength, minimal weight and high resistance to material fatigue—all qualities that are greatly valued by bicycle enthusiasts.
