  • Almost all metals form oxides and many of them form layered sheet-like oxides, so if one can coax them into nanotube form with dimensions comparable to single-walled carbon nanotubes, the range of useful properties would be great. (sciencedaily.com)
  • This coaxial structure enhanced the mechanical and tribological properties beyond that attainable with traditional SiC-derived reinforcements. (omicsdi.org)
  • Therefore, toxicity and biosafety of carbon nanomaterials must be investigated deeply for safe application in biomedicine in the future. (springer.com)
  • Radioisotope tracing technology can measure accurately the content of carbon nanomaterials in any tissue. (springer.com)
  • Even though a Kataura plot for the E33 and E44 range has been proposed by using such a vertically aligned film [5], polarized Raman scattering spectra reveal more complicated features in the system because of the small bundle size, typically 5-8 nanotubes [6]. (aps.org)
  • The tube exhibits metallic or semiconducting properties according to the arrangement of hexagons. (go.jp)
