MWCNTs Pristine Research Grade
Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) are a form of carbon allotrope consisting of multiple concentric cylinders of graphene sheets, which are rolled up into a tubular structure. Each tube in the multi-wall configuration is separated by a thin layer of graphene. MWCNTs are renowned for their unique combination of properties, which include exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and large surface area. These properties make MWCNTs highly valuable in a wide variety of applications across industries, particularly in materials science, electronics, energy storage, biomedicine, and environmental technology.
Pristine MWCNTs, specifically, refer to MWCNTs in their natural, unmodified state. They are considered “pristine” because they have not undergone any functionalization or surface modification, meaning they retain their inherent structural properties without additional chemical or physical treatments that alter their surface characteristics. As such, pristine MWCNTs are often used in fundamental research to explore their intrinsic properties and understand their behavior in various environments and materials.
Because pristine MWCNTs are in their native state, they are typically the starting point for numerous research studies aimed at understanding their potential for use in nanocomposites, electronics, energy devices, and even healthcare. These studies explore their characteristics, dispersion properties, aggregation behavior, and interaction with other materials.
Structure and Properties of Pristine MWCNTs:
The basic structure of MWCNTs consists of multiple layers of graphene sheets stacked concentrically around a hollow core. Each layer of the graphene sheets in a MWCNT is separated by a van der Waals force that holds the layers together, but the interaction between the layers is not as strong as within a single graphene sheet. This gives MWCNTs a unique combination of mechanical and electrical properties that make them superior to many other materials.
