Abstract

The electromigration behaviour of raw and acid purified single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in dilute aqueous systems (0.0034 mg mL−1), in the absence of surfactant, with the addition of either 0.85 M acetic acid or 0.1 M CuSO4, was evaluated using a 2-inch copper cathode and either a 2-inch cop...
