Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the separation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by electric discharge, focusing on techniques and methods for purification and dispersion of nanotubes from soot and other materials. The scope includes both theoretical and practical aspects of nanotube separation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the separation of nanotubes produced by electric discharge.
  • Another participant mentions applying high voltages to densified CNT structures in a vacuum, suggesting a method related to the topic.
  • A link is provided to a resource discussing various purification techniques for carbon nanotubes, although the relevance to algebra is questioned by another participant.
  • A participant expresses interest in the initial steps of separating nanotubes from soot, specifically asking about suitable solvents or dispersing agents before preliminary filtration.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on specific techniques or methods for separation, and multiple viewpoints regarding the relevance of provided resources and the initial separation process remain evident.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the clarity of specific techniques mentioned, the definitions of terms used, and the assumptions underlying the methods proposed.

Who May Find This Useful

Researchers and practitioners interested in carbon nanotube purification and separation techniques, as well as those exploring applications of electric discharge in material processing.

Anyone familiar with separation of nanotubes produced by electric discharge
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Can you be more specific? I've applied high voltages to densified CNT structures in a vacuum.
 
http://eosl.gtri.gatech.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=117 fellows have developed several techniques for purification of carbon nanotubes.

Sorry I don't know which fellows
 
arauca, the word "these" in his post is a link you can click.

What does algebra have to do with my question
 
Curiouser and curiouser! As far as I can tell link that chemisttree posted:

http://eosl.gtri.gatech.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=117

is definitely about nanotubes purification techniques, not about algebra.

I am interested in the first step, were you take the soot and what solvent or what dispersing agent you use to separate the tubes from carbonate us material. before preeliminary filytation takes place .

Thank you
