Re: IBM Labs develops ‘initial step’ towards commercial fabrication of carbon nanotub
I think Mr. Bot’s very informative citation may have a slight inaccuracy. Surfacrants are typically used to disperse stuff in aqueous media. I doubt if the CNTs are actually being dissolved. I think they are being dispersed uniformly in aqueous medium.
Does not make sense to fabricate CNTs and redissolve them to attach the oxides.
