Journal ArticleDOI

Andreas Thess,R. S. Lee,Pavel Nikolaev,Hongjie Dai,Pierre Petit,J. Robert,Chunhui Xu,Young Hee Lee,Seong-Gon Kim,Andrew G. Rinzler,Daniel T. Colbert,Gustavo E. Scuseria,David Tománek,John E. Fischer,Richard E. Smalley +14 more
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy showed that fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) are nearly uniform in diameter and that they self-organize into “ropes,” which consist of 100 to 500 SWNTs in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with a lattice constant of 17 angstroms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale production of single-walled carbon nanotubes by the electric-arc technique

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the growth mechanism for SWNTs must be independent of the details of the technique used to make them, and that the ready availability of large amounts of SWNT can make them much more accessible for further study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotube composites for thermal management
Michael J. Biercuk,M. C. Llaguno,Marko Radosavljevic,J. K Hyun,Alan T. Johnson,John E. Fischer +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were used to augment the thermal transport properties of industrial epoxy composites and showed a 70% increase in thermal conductivity at 40 K, rising to 125% at room temperature; the enhancement due to 1 wt'% loading of vapor grown carbon fibers was three times smaller.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale purification of single-wall carbon nanotubes: process, product, and characterization

TL;DR: A readily scalable purification process capable of handling single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) material in large batches, which should greatly facilitate investigation of material properties intrinsic to the nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotube Networks in Polymer Nanocomposites: Rheology and Electrical Conductivity
TL;DR: In this article, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were prepared via coagulation method providing uniform dispersion of the nanotubes in the polymer matrix.
