Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers have recently used a surfactant to spread insulating boron nitride nanotubes and coat them into surfaces minus bundling.
The team, as specified in a EurekAlert! report, demonstrated that heat treatment could eliminate the surfactant to show clean nanoscale templates.
Here, @DrLessard and co-workers introduced boron nitride nanotube interlayers in a silver microgrid heater, improving its mechanical stability and heater efficiency.

Chemical vapor deposits could form coaxial nanotubes on the template through various materials.
Such an ability to coat nanotubes onto "inert" insulating structures offers scientists unprecedented access to the properties of new nanotube materials.
