Preparation of aqueous carbon material suspensions by aqueous counter collision

Aqueous dispersions of hyperhydrophobic fullerene C60, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and graphite were prepared. This was achieved by the aqueous counter collision method, designed to fabricate nanofibers and nanoparticles. Dispersions of carbon materials could be prepared by collision from two high-speed water jets. The dispersed states of the materials differed significantly, presumably because of the different nanoscale configurations of the materials.
