Nanocomposites, a high performance material exhibit unusual property combinations and unique design possibilities. With an estimated annual growth rate of about 25% and fastest …
The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …
The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …
