Overview

This chemical vapour deposition (CVD) system is designed specifically for growing single-wall carbon nanotubes. A dedicated gas-mixing design and preheated feed gas keep reaction conditions consistent, while ultrasonic multi-stage atomised feeding delivers the carbon source evenly for controlled, directional growth. The large-bore silicon carbide furnace tube raises output per run, and a vertical furnace with a rotating-shaft collector lets you remove product and amorphous carbon without stopping the furnace.
