| Fully employing the arc discharge/laser vaporization
methods, we aimed at: solving production mechanisms as well
as the creation of nanotube materials; searching for physical/chemical
modification methods for produced materials; and explicating
a new technique of evaluating the produced materials and the
compounds at the atomic level. Building a formation in which
French side evaluate the properties of carbon nanotube materials,
we promoted our collaborative research while mutually sending
researchers of both sides. |
|
| The attraction for carbon nanotubes widely
extends from basic science to industrial applications toward
next generation, flat display equipment, transistors, fuel
batteries, etc. Since those studies are being actively carried
out on global scale, our findings are expected to become the
foundations of further improvements in nanotube-material research. |
