Carbon nanotube films that are mechanically robust and light weight (see Figure) have been engineered to coat surfaces of metallic structures or to be embedded within composite/heterogeneous systems. For high‐temperature applications the performance of the nanotube films is expected to be superior to conventional damping treatments using structures made of viscoelastic materials.
