NIST Releases First Certified Reference Material for Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Caption

This is a scanning electron microscope image of a typical sample of the NIST single-wall carbon nanotube soot standard reference material. The nanotubes tend to stick together and form smaller and larger bundles. Some of the impurities also are visible. The image shows an area just over a micrometer wide. (Color added for clarity.)
