Abstract

Deagglomeration of the tightly agglomerated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was carried out using two procedures: rapid expansion of supercritical suspension (RESS) of MWCNTs and CO2, and high-intensity ultrasonic agitation of a suspension of MWCNTs in acetone, using an ultrasonic probe. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images show that the high-intensity ultrasonic probe was more effective in deagglomerating the agglomerated MWCNTs than the RESS method.
