Additional information

Now widely cited in original research papers and reviews [e.g. Kong et al. Int Materials Reviews 58(2013)203], this paper demonstrated for the first time that once nanotubes in suspension electrically percolate, which they do at concentrations below 0.1 wt %, they download microwave energy with high efficiency. While the obvious impact of this will be in the ability of nanotubes to enhance polymer processing, particularly thermal welding, the work has also opened up possibilities for nanotube suspensions in fluids in general. This aspect is being pursued with two companies to develop a commercial nanotube sensor and eliminator.
