Rice Scientists Present Their Protocol for Carbon Nanotube Handling

With some practice, it would take just about 10 minutes, few bags, and a big bucket to maintain nanomaterials in their place. Chemist Andrew Barron from the Rice University lab works with bulk carbon nanotubes on a number of projects. Some years back, members of the lab became anxious that nanotubes could escape into the air, and formulated an economical and clean technique to ensure they stay contained as they were shifted from large containers into jars for experimental use.
