i - CCNI XBC grade carbon nanotubes are tubular fullerenes; polymers that are part of the fullerene family of carbon molecules discovered by Dr. Richard E. Smalley and colleagues in 1985. Fullerene nanotubes exhibit the degree of perfection associated with all molecules. They comprise single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), and endohedral or endotopic SWNTs, i.e., one, two or more tubular fullerenes nested inside another tubular fullerene. Van der Waals attractions cause fullerene nanotubes to self-assemble into networks of ropes or bundles.
ii - Materials are provided in wet form to assist dispersion of carbon nanotubes for potential applications in aqueous system. Dried form is available upon request.
iii - Intensity ratio of G-band to D-band in Raman spectrum.
