title = "Comparing two methods for deagglomeration of highly agglomerated multi-walled carbon nanotubes",
abstract = "Deagglomeration of the tightly agglomerated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was carried out using two procedures: rapid expansion of supercritical suspension (RESS) of MWCNTs and CO2, and high-intensity ultrasonic agitation of a suspension of MWCNTs in acetone, using an ultrasonic probe. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images show that the high-intensity ultrasonic probe was more effective in deagglomerating the agglomerated MWCNTs than the RESS method.",
