CNT graphene other nanocarbon production lags capacity for now
… Nanocarbon products include single-walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT or MWNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT or MWNT ..... best suited for electronic applications. In 10 to 15 years, SWCNT are expected to replace silicon as the key material in computer …

CNT supercapacitors enable harsh-environment energy storage
… about 100nm wide. Credit: Hauge Lab/Rice University. Rice used 15-20nm bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ) up to 50m long. Carbon nanotubes were used to give the electrons high surface area, increasing capacitance. Each bundle …

Conference Report: MRS Spring 2012, Day 4
… EE7.1 Taishi Takenobu of Waseda U (Japan) showed some recent work on inkjet printing of single-wall carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ) thin-film transistors (TFT). Separation of metallic from semiconducting CNT is required to avoid being trapped by a tradeoff …

3 graphene fab methods: Researchers claim cheap, easy, high yielding processes
… environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. Hosmane's research group was looking to produce single-wall carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ), a different nanomaterial. "Instead, we isolated few-layer graphene," he said. "It surprised us all." Other members …
