Method rapidly evaluates quality of carbon nanotubes.(TESTING/CHARACTERIZATION)(Brief article)
Advanced Materials & Processes, April, 2007
A sensitive new method for rapidly assessing the quality of carbon nanotubes has reportedly been developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, Colo. Initial feasibility tests show that the method not only is faster than the standard analytic technique, but also effectively screens much smaller samples for purity and consistency, and detects sample variability.
