Rice University develops method to produce valuable nanomaterials from waste plastics
05/31/2023
Carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers from plastic waste. Method 90% more efficient than existing production processes.
Depending on the energy source or catalyst used, the diameter of the nanotube can be controlled. Nanomaterials with pieces of graphene anchored to the ends. Difficult to achieve, and, moreover, using plastic waste as raw material. |
