Controlled Decoration of Carbon Nanotubes
Suitable for assembly of a variety of nanoparticles including semiconductors, metallic particles, and insulators Not limited by surface chemistry Capable of combining different types of nanoparticles into a single assembly Rapid production of assemblies in gaseous, ambient pressure process Eliminates clumping problems often associated with aqueous techniques Suitable for vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes which cannot be assembled using aqueous, chemical techniques Suitable for single-wall or multiwalled carbon nanotubes Does not affect the underlying properties of the carbon nanotubes
This innovative technology for assembling nanoparticles onto carbon nanotubes developed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is available for commercialization.
