UltraPure Steam in Nanotechnology
Improving the growth rate and uniformity of carbon nanotubes is a major hurdle to transfer of this technology from research to production. The process of growing carbon on catalyst leads to self poisoning of the catalyst and cession of the process. Through the addition of small amounts of water vapor, the catalyst can be kept free of molecular contamination. This enables longer carbon fiber to be grown under the same general process conditions.
