Ball milling effect on the structure of singlewall carbon ...
the ballmilling treatment decreases the length of the SWNTs (Fig. 1a and b). This point will be discussed in Section For the first three hours of ball milling there is no significant destruction of nanotubes but longer Fig. 1. TEM pictures of the carbon material: before ball milling (a), ball milled for 2 h (b), 8 h (c) and 50 h (d).
