Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

A research team has published a work showcasing another practical and scalable application of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

The study appears in the Carbon journal. The team includes researchers from Skoltech (Skoltech Photonics' Laboratory of Nanomaterials and Skoltech Materials), together with partners from Jiangsu University and Belarussian State University.

"The work aligns with our laboratory's strategy of scaling nanomaterials for industrial applications. With single-walled carbon nanotubes used as sensors, we are able to help detect and manipulate polymer production variables as needed, as well as understand how the material is behaving when applied practically," says Professor Albert Nasibulin, the head of the Laboratory of Nanomaterials at Skoltech Photonics.

"Here, in one of the most influential carbon nanotube labs in Russia and the only one in Skoltech working on carbon nanotube synthesis and application, our motivation to bring such technologies to market is very strong."

The study showcases a simple, yet hard to achieve concept—using a single sensor monitoring technique, which allows the detection of a polymer's property during its entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to application.
