Re: Producing carbon nanotubes on an industrial scale
This is very interesting, I spent much of my life working in a plant that produced polymerized plastics. Teasing the molecules into alignment from what is for all practical purposes a chunk of brittle plastic that acts more like glass into long chains of super flexible molecules 1000's of times stronger then they were originally is a pretty cool process even after doing it for 25 years. Making long carbon nano tubes would be a very interesting endeavor even if you just ran the process.
