Characterization and Applications of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have attracted great interest during the last decade due to their possession of a unique set of properties. In addition to their strength, MWNTs have well defined morphologies, with large aspect ratios and pores in the meso range, and intriguing transport properties, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity
We are interested in how variations in the MWNT morphology affect areas of possible engineering applications. We have identified morphology as a critical element for the performance of MWNTs in engineering applications. Specific areas studied and reported here spans from surface adsorption and capillary condensation, to dispersion and dispersion processes, and transport properties in relation to MWNT aspect ratio. This wide range of exploration is typically needed for evaluating opportunities for new materials
