The claim that super black is used in nail polish seems to be bogus. At least the link provided leads to the site of a company "Super Black", but I couldn't find any reference to the color/material Super Black used in the nail polish. Also it wouldn't make much sense. 82.82.69.225 ( talk) 07:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Consider merging these materials so that the several super-black materials can be covered and compared in a single article. Roches ( talk) 01:21, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
It appears that the UK lab first invented a black material that wasn't nanotube-based, covered here. NASA then developed an even less reflective material, covered in this article, based on nanotubes. Then the UK lab developed a nanotube-based material of their own, one which has certain advantages; that was at Vantablack. I thought that merging Vantablack into this article would make it easier to summarize the development process and the advantages and disadvantages of each method. If "super black" then becomes an inappropriate title, the title can be changed to "Superblack material" or whatever is found best. Last thing -- how much do these cost? Are there any consumer applications — solar heating, maybe — and are there any exhibits of Vantablack art outside the UK? Roches ( talk) 01:32, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I'd support the proposal for a combined article covering super low reflection surface treatments (or at least create a combined page for those that are nanotube based). This is a developing field. The potential applications are not really specific to one technology and in general it is better for Wikipedia when pages cover the subject from a generic point of view rather than focussing on a particular company's product line as it preserves the character of an encyclopedia rather than a collection of brochures. 51.9.83.122 ( talk) 16:02, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Super black. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
