摘要: Coprecipitation of urea-melt modified carbon nanotubes and calcium carbonate from an aqueous solution by two methods yielded microcrystalline composite particles. Powders obtained colloidal crystallization a supersaturated that were isolated dried soon after precipitation mixture raspberry-shaped rhombohedral These shown infrared X-ray diffraction analyses to be mainly calcite. Particles kept wet for 1 day or longer before being typically entirely with edge lengths in the range 5−30 μm. Scanning electron microscopy investigations revealed adsorbed on particle surface also incorporated into interior matrix. Removal component treating particles acid nanotube shells whose size shape reflected those original
