Description
Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Nanoribbon Water Dispersion, 0.5 mg/mL
Carbon Nanotube Nanoribbons (CNT-NRs) are next-generation nanomaterials engineered by unzipping multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) through a controlled chemical oxidation process. This method transforms cylindrical nanotubes into flat, ribbon-like structures with expanded surface area and exposed edge sites—enhancing their chemical reactivity, dispersion stability, and functional integration.
This product is offered as a water-based dispersion at 0.5 mg/mL concentration, ensuring ease of handling and compatibility with aqueous systems. The ribbons maintain excellent conductivity and stability, making them suitable for a wide range of advanced applications across electronics, energy, materials science, and biotechnology.
