在微滴蒸发形成的合成 imogolite nanotubes 的形态学被传播电子显微镜学和电子衍射调查。nanotubes 形式在更高的集中的一个稠密的纠缠的网络,当在更低的集中 nanotubes 是容易的形成面向的捆时。在 enthanol 空气下面, nanotubes 的单个分散第一次被观察,它揭示合成 imogolite nanotubes 的长度多分散性。
Morphology of synthetic imogolite nanotubes formed in droplet evaporation was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The nanotubes form a dense entangled network at higher concentrations, while at lower concentrations the nanotubes are liable to form oriented bundles. Under enthanol atmosphere, individual dispersion of nanotubes was observed for the first time, which reveals the length polydispersity of synthetic imogolite nanotubes.
