PD ISO/TR 10929 is a Technical Report that identifies the basic properties of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the content of impurities, which characterize bulk samples of MWCNTs. It highlights the major measurement methods available to industry for the determination of these parameters.
What are multiwall carbon nanotubes and why use them?Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are nanomaterials for use in many industrial fields.
They are beneficial because of their unique electronic, electromagnetic, thermal, optical and mechanical properties. The feasibility of using them in a variety of applications, such as field-emission based display panels, reinforced composite materials, multifunctional sensors and elements of new nanoscale logic circuits have been explored. In all cases, appropriate characterization of the MWCNT samples is necessary so that the desired products can be manufactured.
How does this technical report help?PD ISO/TR 10929 provides a sound basis for the research, development and commercialization of these materials. Sample preparation and measurement protocol are not contained within this Technical Report.
