Nanostructure material and process for the preparation thereof

摘要

A process for the preparation of a nanostructure composite material comprises the steps of adding a biological compound to an as-produced nanostructure material preparation to form a solution; mixing the solution to from a dispersion; allowing unwanted material to settle out of the dispersion and removing a nanostructure composite material. The nanostrucutre material may be isolated from the composite material dispersion by heating the dispersion to a temperature less than the combustion/decomposition temperature of the nanotube content of the nanostructure material.
