Abstract:
Thin film microfluidic shearing of a mixture of toluene dispersed single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and water in a vortex fluidic device results in SWCNT nanorings (and related structures), diameters 100 to 200 nm or 300 to 700 nm, for respectively 10 mm or 20 mm diameter rotating tubes.
