Nanotechnology production materials come flowing out of volcanoes

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The demand for the raw materials of the nanotechnology revolution – nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, quantum dots, etc – is rising explosively and large chemical companies keep expanding their production capacities. As production moves from a workshop model to an industrial production process, prices for these materials are coming down fast. Nowhere has this trend been more noticeable than with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), where prices have more or less collapsed from their astronomical levels: a kilogram of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) sold for tens of thousands of dollars just a few years ago; by now, the price for some types of MWCNTs has fallen to only hundreds of dollars per kg.

Demonstrating Structural Deformation in an Inorganic Nanotube

There is much current interest in nanostructured materials (nanotubes, nanobelts, nanospheres, etc.). Their crystal structures can differ from those of the equivalent bulk materials. Determining these differences is important in understanding how the properties of nanomaterials differ from those of the bulk. Established methods of X-ray structure determination become increasingly difficult or impossible to apply on reducing the dimensions to a few nanometers. Here we show that, by combining the Debye equation for X-ray scattering (which relates an ensemble of atoms to their diffraction pattern without recourse to symmetry) with a model of the crystal structure, generated by folding the ideal crystal structure into a nanotube, the severely broadened/distored powder diffraction pattern may be described.

Using Nanotechnology to Create High-performance Materials

The GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht is coordinating a European project for the development of new plastics. The project is being coordinated from Geesthacht by the director of the Institute of Polymer Research, Prof. Volker Abetz. "One of the aims of our first meeting will be to discuss the current state of materials development and the steps that need to be taken, especially with regard to the materials' subsequent applications," says Abetz. Because the new composites do not build up an electrostatic charge and are electrical conductors, they could be used for petrol fuel lines in automobiles, for example, as well as for special packaging materials and membranes.
