Carbon nanotubes behave very uniquely when they have water molecules inside them and this fact can help us in manufacturing with carbon nanotubes. You see carbon nano tubes are very thin and thus to adequately use them for many different applications we will need to have multiple plies in a composite format. But when working with them we will need to be very careful how we lay them upon one another as they are 250 times stronger and than steel. Think of a hardness of a diamond. So you cannot readily cut them.

Due to the fact that carbon nanotubes are very good conductors of electricity, we can send a current thru them and super excite the water molecules inside to separate the thin carbon nano tube sheets for recycling and make into something else. By sending frequencies into the material, which will change the characteristics of water molecules we can separate the material without damaging it.

No sense in needlessly filling up land fills with such material. Indeed at the EOL End of Lifecycle we can use such materials for retaining walls, buildings, roofs or even foundations. With all the killer applications that carbon nanotubes present us as the material of choice we need ways to work with this material in order to use all of its properties without creating trash that will survive the elements for tens of thousands of years. Think on this.
