Arc-produced, multi-walled carbon nanotubes contain 55-65 wt% nanotubes and 35-45wt% graphite nanoparticles. The tubes have a diameter distribution of 2-50 nm, and a typical length of >2 microns (straight tubes). The chemical composition is 100% carbon, with no metal impurities. Because the nanotubes are grown at very high temperatures (3000-4000°C), the product contain far less defects than nanotubes produced by other methods. The nanotubes are stable in air up to 700°C.
Arrays grown on 10x10x1mm quartz substrate using a single source CVD process that yields vertically aligned MWNTs (< 1% catalyst impurity). Arrays are 30µm tall (± 3µm) and are composed of MWNTs 100nm in diameter (± 10nm). Arrays up to 150µm in height can be provided on request.
