Microcapsules containing suspensions of carbon nanotubes

Mary M. Caruso, Stuart R. Schelkopf, Aaron C. Jackson, Alexandra M. Landry, Paul V. Braun and Jeffrey S. Moore

Single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended in chlorobenzene (PhCl) and ethyl phenylacetate (EPA) were incorporated into microcapsules using an in situ emulsification polymerization of urea-formaldehyde; the capsules release the SWNTs upon mechanical rupture.
