Carbon nanotube cluster successfully grown

A team of US scientists at Duke University [profile] in the USA say they have brought the commercial utilisation of carbon nanotubes in ICs a step further by using IC-like masking processes to align arrays of nanotubes. "To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest density of aligned, single-wall nanotubes reported," the researchers, led by Professor Jie Liu, wrote in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Ten nanotubes, a few atoms thick and all facing in the same direction with none of them crossing, were grown in a micron-wide space. "Compared with what other people have done, we have reached a higher density of nanotubes," said Liu. The problem with nanotubes, up to now, has been getting them to grow straight, long enough and sufficiently densely packed to be practical for carrying current.

Comparing apples with oranges - the problem of nanotubes risk assessment

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Despite their name, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are not made of 100% carbon. Depending on which of the various synthesis techniques is used in their production, CNTs have variable chemistries and physical properties resulting from their different metal catalysts or amorphous carbon coatings. As a result, they may contain large percentages of metal and carbonaceous impurities which will have different environmental and toxicological impacts. In early toxicological studies, researchers obtained confounding results - in some studies nanotubes were toxic; in others, they were not. The apparent contradictions were actually a result of the materials that the researchers were using, not appreciating that 'carbon nanotubes' are really 'carbon nanotubes + metal + amorphous impurities'.

Nanotubes grown straight in large numbers

25 Apr 2008 - Duke University chemists have found a way to grow long, straight cylinders only a few atoms thick in very large numbers, removing a major roadblock in the pursuit of nano-scale electronics. These single-walled carbon nanotubes also follow parallel paths as they grow so they don't cross each other to potentially impede electronic performance, said Duke associate chemistry professor Jie Liu, who leads the research. Carbon nanotubes can act as semiconductors and could thus further scale-down circuitry to features measuring only billionths of a meter.

Carbon nanotubes for new thermoplastic...

Bayer MaterialScience has cooperated with Clariant Masterbatches on carbon nanotubes for new thermoplastics that impart excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Bayer MaterialScience will supply Clariant with industrial quantities of high-quality Baytubes carbon nanotubes for the manufacture of development and sales products for compounds and master batches. The carbon nanotubes (CNT), will initially be used in the new CESA® conductive CNT product range. Potential applications for the resultant compounds include electrically conductive machine components and packaging for delicate electronic components such as computer chips.

Spin Control: New Technique Sorts Nanotubes by Length

In a schematic of NIST's length separation technique for carbon nanotubes (l.), the nanotubes start at the bottom of a dense fluid. When spun in a centrifuge, the nanotubes begin to migrate through the fluid driven by their buoyancy, but the longer ones move faster, spreading them out by length. Photos (r.) shows a typical sample at the start and after 94 hours of spinning at 1257 radians per second (roughly 12,000 RPM). Credit: NIST

Spin control: New technique sorts nanotubes by length

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have reported* a new technique to sort batches of carbon nanotubes by length using high-speed centrifuges. Many potential applications for carbon nanotubes depend on the lengths of these microscopic cylinders, and one of the most important features of the new technique, say the scientists, is that it should be easily scalable to produce industrial quantities of high-quality nanotubes.

Silicon Nanotubes May Outpace Carbon Nanotubes for Hydrogen Fuel Cells

While carbon and its extensive uses in various forms like nanotubes, graphene and buckyballs has been receiving scads of research and media time, another element, hydrogen, has made a consistent showing for its use as an alternative fuel. The promise of clean cars and long-lasting batteries has piqued the interest of our electric society. The two together have been shown to hold some incredible promise for powering all sorts of devices.
