Flow funding

摘要

Engineers at Archimedes Polymer Technologies and Brunei University have secured Technology Strategy Board funding to develop a new continuous flow process for separating and sorting commercially available carbon nanotubes and carbon nanomaterials. Carbon nanomaterials are a very commercially relevant class of nanomaterials, having a wide range of potential uses. For high-value applications, high-purity, uniform carbon nanotubes are vital. For that reason, the engineers are aiming to prove the concept and efficiency of a flow process for separation and sorting of carbon nan-otube products using a variable force field, generated by a novel centrifuge providing efficient mixing, separation and extraction.
