PROTEIN-CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING/SCREENING CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel protein-carbon nanotube composite and a method for classifying and screening carbon nanotubes from a raw material, in which carbon nanotubes having different diameters and/or winding axis directions (chirality) coexist, according to difference in their chiralities.;SOLUTION: In the method, carbon nanotubes are classified by generating a protein-carbon nanotube composite using a protein having a property to form associates and separating components of the composite by high-speed centrifugation/gel filtration chromatography/ion-exchange chromatography and the like.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
