For decades, carbon nanotubes held great promise of developments in the field of electronics and more. But one drawback to realizing these innovations has been the difficulty of incorporating ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have grown single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) at the CMOS-compatible temperature of 350°C. “Thus far the growth of nanotubes has been carried out at very ...

Researchers have published a new theory for making batches of carbon nanotubes with a ... (1605848) and the Robert Welch Foundation (C-1490) supported the research. RELATED TOPICS. Matter & Energy.

What makes carbon nanotubes special are their remarkable properties. These tiny cylinders are stronger than steel, and yet so thin that 50,000 of them would equal the thickness of a human hair.

Nano-C worked extensively with the EPA through the TSCA Premanufacture Notice (“PMN”) process to develop effective environmental, health and safety protocols for the production and use of SWCNT. This ...

Researchers have grown “forests” of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) longer than ever before. Using a new method, the team grew bunches of nanotubes up to 14 cm (5.5 in) long, which should help make it ...

Baking soda, table salt, and detergent are surprisingly effective ingredients for cooking up carbon nanotubes. A team of MIT researchers found that such sodium-containing household ingredients can ...

At 110 °C, only helices and dots (c) can be prepared.After totally cooling down the autoclave and then increasing the temperature to 140 °C, nanotubes with holes in the wall can be produced (a).

Polymer chemist Qing Shen at Donghua University reported similar work in 2014 using 30-nm-wide multiwalled carbon nanotubes, which also increased the silk fibers’ strength and toughness (Mater. Sci.
