Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs), often referred to as the "quasi-one-dimensional nanomaterial with superior comprehensive performance", are cylindrical nanostructures formed by rolling a single layer of graphene into a tube at a specific angle. The Nanointegris ultrapure SWCNTs solution is a high-purity dispersion product of SWCNTs, developed to address the challenges of efficient dispersion and stable application of SWCNTs in industrial and research scenarios.
Fundamental Structural Characteristics: SWCNTs have an extremely small diameter range of 0.6-2 nm, with the minimum diameter reaching approximately 0.4 nm. This ultra-fine size enables them to freely enter cells (a key advantage for biomedical applications) and form unique microstructures when assembled into macroscopic materials. The structural diversity of SWCNTs—determined by their chiral indices (n, m)—leads to significant differences in properties; for example, some exhibit semiconductor properties, while others show metallic conductivity, laying the foundation for their multi-field application.
Market and Industry Context: Globally, the annual production capacity of SWCNTs is currently less than 100 tons, making high-purity SWCNT solutions (like the Nanointegris ultrapure variant) a high-value product in the nanomaterial market. Traditional SWCNT products often face issues such as low purity, uneven dispersion, and poor stability, which limit their performance in high-end fields (e.g., semiconductor devices, high-efficiency energy storage). The Nanointegris ultrapure SWCNTs solution is developed to fill this gap, providing a reliable material basis for cutting-edge research and industrial upgrading.
