Macroscopic Fibers and Ribbons of Oriented Carbon Nanotubes
A simple method was used to assemble single-walled carbon nanotubes into indefinitely long ribbons and fibers. The processing consists of dispersing the nanotubes in surfactant ...
Synthesis of Large Arrays of Well-Aligned Carbon Nanotubes on Glass
Free-standing aligned carbon nanotubes have previously been grown above 700°C on mesoporous silica embedded with iron nanoparticles. Here, carbon nanotubes aligned over areas up...
Carbon Nanotubes--the Route Toward Applications
Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; fi...
Chemically Derived, Ultrasmooth Graphene Nanoribbon Semiconductors
We developed a chemical route to produce graphene nanoribbons (GNR) with width below 10 nanometers, as well as single ribbons with varying widths along their lengths or containi...
Tailoring graphite with the goal of achieving single sheets
We demonstrate the tailoring of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) to obtain uniformly sized islands of up to several microns in size. There has already been some researc...
