Graphene Tube dispersion liquid
This product was synthesized without substrate using InALA process.
This is the nanocarbon with new structure made by forming the tubes of graphene flower. Although this material has thick diameter, the number of graphene lamination is a few, resulting in thin thickness similar to Graphene Flower. Thus, it has soft string-like shape with tightly cohering inside (due to van der Waals force).

Features of Graphene Tube (registered trade mark)
- This is a carbon nanotube with rather thick diameter, but thin wall thickness
(outer diameter: 30-100 nm, wall thickness: 1-2 nm).
This material evades the bundling problem of monolayer CNT (as well as few-layer CNT). - It has the structure, in which the inner walls of the tube closely adhered with each other, forming a flat needle shape.
Due to a few layers of lamination, close adhesion is possible thanks to van der Waals force.
Needle shape that causes health problem can be avoided - Inner space is large surrounded with a few layers of graphene.
It is possible to enlarge the inner space while dipping in a solvent.
It can been effectively utilized for DDS (drug delivery system) substrate, chemical reaction field, and doping. - High crystallinity
Excellent in electroconductivity and thermal conductivity (equivalent to few-layer graphene). - High purity
Over 99%
