Microcapsules containing suspensions of carbon nanotubes

Abstract

Single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended in chlorobenzene (PhCl) and ethyl phenylacetate (EPA) were incorporated into microcapsules using an in situemulsification polymerization of urea-formaldehyde; the capsules release the SWNTs upon mechanical rupture.
