A single-walled carbon nanotube can be conceptualized as a single-atom-thick sheet of graphene rolled up to form a long, thin tube. As well as exceptional strength, these carbon nanomaterials ...

and lattice structure. Both type and diameter are important. The wider the diameter of the nanotube, the more it behaves like graphite. The narrower the diameter of the nanotube, the more its ...

In any case the results are difficult to apply given the lack of any legal definition for a carbon nanotube 1. Hence, randomly testing natural samples for the presence of SWNTs may never yield ...

The ring molecules are attached to the carbon nanotube mechanically ... a ring molecule around the nanotube—to integrate the nanotubes into the polymer lattice, preserving all their properties ...

Carbon-based materials show promise but typically require harsh chemical processing ... similar to natural materials like spider silk. As the nanotube mixture is ejected from a multi-hole spinneret, ...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have identified that the poor mechanical performance of carbon nanotube (CNT ...

KERI's achievement is a high-energy, lightweight wire made using single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT). CNT is a new material that is 100 times stronger than steel and has electrical conductivity ...

Single-wall carbon nanotubes are nanomaterial consisting of a single atomic layer of graphene. A long-standing challenge in developing the material has been that the nanotube manufacturing process ...

The researchers chose a composite of titanium dioxide and carbon nanotubes as the basis for the sensor material. Titanium dioxide can be used as a chemical resistor but has the disadvantage that ...

has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a compound, creating a promising new one-dimensional material. In this study, published in JACSLink, a large ...
