But in order to translate these achievements into products, nanotubes need to be manufactured into physical devices quickly, easily, and cheaply. The current practice is far from commercially viable, due to its poor control of this novel material. This research aims to develop a new method for transforming nanotubes into easily handlable and manufacturable building blocks, a technique that has some very compelling immediate applications.
