Stainless steel 304L alloy powder and multiwalled carbon nanotubes were mixed by ball-milling under ambient atmosphere and in a broad range of milling times, which spans from 0 to 120 min.

Planetary ball milling of the multiwall carbon nanotube starting material invariably resulted in an increase in the apparent density of the material. On the basis of earlier low-impact milling studies this suggests that the nanotubes were cut into smaller pieces corresponding to a more compact macroscopic structure.

Ball Milling Ball milling was used for mixing appropriate salts in the metal jar with zircon balls at room temperature. The time and speed of milling were fixed for all four samples, i.e. 20 minutes and 600 rpm, respectively. We have used lead acetate [Pb(C2H,02)2] as a lead source, and four different components...

Ester Vázquez and colleagues, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, report the use of a planetary retsch ball mill, which consisted of stainless steel balls within a grinding bowl, to cut and disperse single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs). Air, high rotational speeds, and long milling times led to partial or almost total destruction of SWNTs.

Variation in ball-milling time of SWCNTs up to 12 h was introduced to induce a difference in the distribution size and length of SWCNTs.

The dependence of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) length distribution and some nitrogen derived morphological descriptors on various planetary ball milling process parameters was investigated. Ball milling was found to cut nanotubes into smaller pieces, narrow their length distribution and increase their specific surface area and surface fractal …
