Monofilament is only one molecule/atom thick in total from edge to edge ( think of monofilament fishing line, not very thin, but, that is due to the size of the molecule in the first place ). The Buckytubes have a thickness of one carbon atom for each wall, so, that is two walls plus the interior of the cylinder in thickness total. From what I understand of the technology, the maximum diameter of a Buckytube is only limited but the molecular strength of the material ( carbon in this case ). >SF > monofilaments can cut through anything.

Most are shorter that than anyone of the letters in this e-mail. Greg H. ------------------------ Yahoo!
