New developments in the purification, filling and functionalisation of carbon nanotubes

Clarke R., Thomas Swan & Company Limited, UK

A substantial body of research has been focused on the preparation of high purity carbon nanotubes (CNT) in a large scale. Subsequently the purified CNTs can then be filled or functionalized depending on the envisaged [...]

Growth of Nanostructured Diamond, Diamond-Like Carbon, and Carbon Nanotubes in a Low Pressure Inductively Coupled Plasma

Okada K., National Institute for Materials Science, JP

A 13.56 MHz low pressure inductively coupled CH4/CO/H2 plasma has been applied to prepare nanocrystalline diamond particles of 200-700 nm diameter. The minimum diameter of the particles was found to be 5 nm. Two-dimensional platelet-like [...]

Diameter Selective Growth of Vertically Aligned Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Ethanol Flow Control

Hahm M.G., Noah M.A., Kwon Y., Jung Y.J., Northeastern University, US

The role of ethanol flow rate in CVD process for the diameter control of vertically aligned-SWNTs is presented. Three different flow rates of ethanol (50, 100, and 200 sccm) were supplied to grow VA-SWNTs while [...]
