Book Review of Chemistry and Physics of Carbon, Vol. 30

This book covers a wide range of topics on the chemistry, physics, and applications of carbon and carbon materials. Like previous volumes, the subjects discussed here reveal the multidisciplinary nature of carbon research, as can be seen in the titles of its chapters: (1) “Carbon Activation by Alkaline Hydroxides: Preparation and Reactions, Porosity and Performance: by Linares-Solano et al.; “Template Approaches to Preparing Porous Carbon� by Zhao and co-workers; “Characterization of Carbon Surface Chemistry� by Burg and Cagniant; and “Sorption of Heavy Oils into Carbon Materials� by Inagaki and co-workers. In addition to a standard Table of Contents, there is also a list of the contents of the previous 29 volumes as well as a subject index.

Clarification: Carbon nanotubes study performed on mice

Weekly reported on a new study that shows some potential for carbon nanotubes to behave like asbestos if inhaled. We failed to report, however, that the study was conducted by injecting carbon nanotubes into the abdomen of mice. Conclusions reached about the inhalation risk of carbon nanotubes were made by researchers involved in the project based on results of the injection regime. There is, as yet, no direct evidence that inhalation of carbon nanotubes poses a health risk, and researchers involved in the study acknowledged that more experimentation is required to fully assess inhalation risk.

Livermore researchers use carbon nanotubes for molecular transport

FAST FLOW THROUGH CARBON NANOTUBES: The animation starts with the depiction of the water flow through a regular "rough" pipe. The molecules near the wall stick to it and move much slower than the molecules in the middle of the pipe. Colors indicate the speed of the molecules -- green are fast, yellow are slower, red are the slowest. The rough pipe fades and the carbon nanotube appears. All the molecules in the carbon nanotube move fast (green). They do not stick to the surface of the nanotube because that surface is very slippery. The water molecules travel in chains because they interact with each other strongly via hydrogen bonds. These two effects (the slippery nanotube surface and formation of water molecule chains inside the nanotube) combine to produce this phenomenon of ultra-fast flow through carbon nanotubes.

3D Parts Integrated on Carbon-nanotube Wafer

Carbon nanotube technology could su..

Just as silicon is the wonder material of the computer age, carbon nanotubes will most likely be the materials responsible for the next evolutionary step in electronics and computing. Their extraordinary properties have identified them as having the potential to revolutionize many technologies. In particular, it is widely believed that carbon nanotubes will take electronic devices to the next level. Many people expect the hugely popular LCD and plasma screens to be replaced by field emission flat screen displays (FED-TV). FED-TV's combine all the best aspects of CRT's, LCD's and plasma TV's into a single package. While the technology exists, manufacturers are at present unable to compete with LCD's and plasma displays on a cost basis. However, carbon nanotubes have the ability to change all that.

The role of surfactants in carbon nanotube toxicity

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Synthesized carbon nanotubes, especially single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), are in the form of bundles with other impurities such as catalyst particles and amorphous carbon debris. In order to be useful for many types of applications, for instance in nanoelectronic devices or biomedical applications, SWCNTs need to be purified and dispersed into individual nanotubes. One method to do this is by surfactant stabilization of the hydrophobic nanotube surface, which overcomes the van der Waals forces among the nanotubes and results in suspensions of individual SWCNTs.

Before fossil fuels, Earth's minerals kept CO2 in check

Stanford, CA— Over millions of years carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been moderated by a finely-tuned natural feedback system— a system that human emissions have recently overwhelmed. A joint University of Hawaii / Carnegie Institution study published in the advance online edition of Nature Geoscience links the pre-human stability to connections between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the breakdown of minerals in the Earth’s crust. While the process occurs far too slowly to have halted the historical buildup of carbon dioxide from human sources, the finding gives scientists new insights into the complexities of the carbon cycle.
