Carbon Nanotubes: Applications in Chromatography and Sample Preparation
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical allotrope nanostructures of carbon with unique structures and unusual properties. The adsorption capacity of CNTs — along with their thermal and chemical stability — make them suitable candidates for new stationary phases, pseudostationary phases, and also for sorbents in solid-phase extraction (SPE) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). This article outlines the latest applications for CNTs in chromatography and sample preparation. More... |
