## Abstract A commercial thermoplastic polyurethane is identified for which the addition of nanotubes dramatically improves its mechanical properties. Increasing the nanotube content from 0% to 40% results in an increase in modulus, __Y__, (0.4β2.2 GPa) and stress at 3% strain, __Ο__~Ο΅ = 3%~, (10β5
