Elicarb® Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes are seamless, carbon cylinders which have unique mechanical and electronic properties. There are two major types of carbon nanotubes: single-walled (SWNTs) and multi-walled (MWNTs).
Since their discovery in 1991 there has been much published research on these exciting new materials: and now industrial applications are emerging which require a reliable, high quality supply of carbon nanotube materials. Thomas Swan is strongly positioned to supply high purity SWNTs and MWNTs through its range of Elicarb® carbon nanotube products. These products are available today in quantities from gramme to multiple kilogrammes.
Elicarb® SWNT A high quality single-wall/double-wall carbon nanotube powder, which has low inorganic residue of <5% w/w and typical nanotube contents of >90%. Typical nanotube dimensions are 2 nanometre diameter and ca. 1 micron in length.
