Particle Characterization: Nanotubes
4 Jun 2013Carbon nanotubes are an emerging material that has had increasing industrial application in material reinforcement and great future potential in electronics, energy storage and conversion, and medicine. This application note demonstrates successful use of the DelsaMax PRO (Beckman Coulter) to measure the size and stability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) in aqueous solutions as a function of temperature.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
