摘要: We report on a non-destructive method for the separation and size-selection of carbon nanotubes nanoparticles produced by arc discharge. A liquid-phase was performed filtering kinetically stable colloidal dispersion consisting material in water/surfactant solution, allowing thus to extract from suspension while leaving filtrate. Further purification accomplished through controlled floculation dispersion. Final yields as high 90 % weight were obtained without any damage tube tips or walls following process.
