Abstract :
Aerosol generation, sampling and analysis for fine carbon nanotubes (CNT) of 10nm diameter is demonstrated and compared to structures formed by coarse CNT. Aggregate structures formed in an aerosol are coil-shaped for fine CNT and bundles for coarse CNT. These structures could be an expression of differences in their physical properties, such as the bending stiffness.
