Supercritical Fluid Assisted Synthesis and Processing of Carbon Nanotubes

Journal Article · · Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 9(5):2781-2794
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) constitute one of the most fascinating nanomaterials with specific properties and enormous applications. Taking advantages of the unique properties of supercritical fluids (SCFs), various techniques have been developed to produce and process CNTs and related nanostructured materials when conventional techniques become unviable. Herein we propose a critical review of these SCF based techniques. The most relevant characteristics of each technique and the enabled novel structures and functions which are difficult to accomplish by traditional techniques are highlighted.
