Merck, 698849-1G, Carbon nanotube, multi-walled

Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs, CNTs) were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a volatile precursor undergoes thermal decomposition at elevated temperatures to form a solid deposit on a substrate. The diameter of the tube ranges between 6-13nm and the average length is 10μm. The multiwalled nanotubes are stable in inert atmosphere upto a temperature of 3697ᵒC. CVD production method is followed by HCl demineralization.
