scope:

This PAS establishes a blank detail specification for the essential electrical properties and certain other common characteristics including dimensional, structural and mechanical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes.

This PAS provides a standardized format for detail specifications characterising essential basic properties of single-wall nanotubes and recommends measurement methods.

Single-wall carbon nanotubes with a chemical modification, dispersed into a solvent or grown on a substrate are included.

Properties and characteristics not of relevance for a specific application may be classified as not applicable or not specified.

NOTE 1 The present state of the art in manufacturing carbon nanotubes does not produce purely single-wall carbon nanotubes. The consequences are reflected in the requirements part.

NOTE 2 A revisable version of Tables 2 to 8 is attached to this file. These tables are intended to be used in the detail specification to be agreed between manufacturer and user of single-wall carbon nanotubes.
