The production, properties and purification of the novel carbon nanotubes have been systematically studied. A fully automatic electric arc carbon nanotube generator is designed and constructed. The state of the electric arc is monitored and adjusted by a computer to maintain a stable growth condition. The optimum conditions for the high yield and ...

The properties of associating fluids in contact with adsorbing surfaces are essential for the control of many processes of current industrial and scientific interest. Potential applications are diverse. Despite the need for a molecular understanding of interfacial properties, only in the past a few years have simple, accurate theories been developed ...
