Ball Milling

Tiny fullerene balls and carbon nanotubes create a new and exciting era to almost all scientific fields, especially materials science.  At the Australian National University (ANU), carbon nanotubes, boron nitride (BN) nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanowires and other nanomaterials have been produced by using a high-energy ball milling and annealing method, which was developed by the group in 1998. Our objectives are to produce nanotubes and nanowires in larger quantities and high yield, and also conduct fundamental research in exploring new properties and applications of these nanomaterials at a large scale. Here you will not only find basic information about carbon nanotubes, BN nanotubes and high energy ball milling technique, also cannot afford to miss a good opportunity to explore the latest research progress in our research group as well as nanotube related news around the world.
