Calculation of the Average Length of Functionalized MWCNTs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using an exponential function to calculate the length of functionalized MWCNTs by various oxidation time and temperature. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observed the morphologies of MWCNTs oxidized under various conditions. With the refluxing time and temperature increasing, the length of MWCNTs decreased dramatically.
