Carbon Nanotubes Filter Paper

This paper discusses the potential use of multi walled carbon nanotubes mwcnts to improve the mechanical properties of short glass fiber composites.

Carbon nanotubes filter paper.

We have performed direct tensile tests on various. Rogers redistributed the pure carbon nanotubes into thin papers akin to carbon copy paper. 1 the work could lead to new desalination. The filtration process works because carbon nanotubes dislike water he added.

Carbon nanotubes cnts have recently attracted considerable attention for the synthesis of novel membranes with attractive features for water purification. The nanotube filters remained stable even after ultrasonic treatment showing the high mechanical stability of the assembled carbon architectures. To date a large variety of materials on the basis carbon nanotubes cnt has been obtained among them ordered layers 1 nanocarbon fibers 2 3 bucky paper 4 5 modified electrodes 6 7 8. The semiconducting tubes were subsequently incorporated into thin carbon paper like sheets which were used to filter tainted water.

Two methods to incorporate mwcnts in short glass fiber composite fabrication were examined. For the first time a bioinspired carbon nanotube cnt water filter has been made that can transport water faster than its biological counterparts. Rogers redistributed the pure carbon nanotubes into thin papers akin to carbon copy paper. Thin papers 20 micron are difficult to remove from the filter support although binders or very long 50 micron carbon nanotubes make thinner free standing papers possible.

Once the papers are formed now we have the adsorbent what we use to pull the contaminants out of water rogers said.

This paper critically reviews the recent progress on the synthesis and applications of carbon nanotube cnt based membranes in water treatment.
