Provided herein are graphene nanoribbons with high structural uniformity and low levels of impurities and methods of synthesis thereof. Also provided herein are graphene nanoplatelets of superior structural uniformity and low levels of impurities and methods of synthesis thereof. Further provided herein are mixtures of graphene nanoribbons and graphene nanoplatelets of good structural uniformity and low levels of impurities and methods of synthesis thereof. The method includes, for example, the steps of depositing catalyst on a constantly moving substrate, forming carbon nanotubes on the substrate, separating carbon nanotubes from the substrate, collecting the carbon nanotubes from the surface where the substrate moves continuously and sequentially through the depositing, forming, separating and collecting steps. Further processing steps convert the synthesized carbon nanotubes to graphene nanoribbons, graphene nanoplatelets and mixtures thereof.

A thermal interface material (TIM) and method for manufacture is disclosed. A vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) array is formed on a substrate, then individual CNTs are cleaved to form a vertical nanoribbon array (VERNA). An array of aligned, upright, flat, highly-compliant ribbon elements permit a higher packing density, better ribbon-to-ribbon engagement factor, better contact with adjoining surfaces and potentially achievement of theoretical thermal conductance limit (1 GW/m2K) for such nanostructured polycyclic carbon materials. Methods for forming the VERNA include either or both of electrochemical and gas phase processing steps.

A sulfur-carbon composite for controlling the particle size of the sulfur-carbon composite to a specific range and a method for preparing the same.

Stem cell, bone and nerve scaffolding comprising discrete carbon nanotubes is disclosed. The discrete carbon nanotubes may be have targeted, or selective oxidation levels and/or content on the interior and exterior of the tube walls. The described scaffolding may be used to guide, target and protect stem cells upon injection into the body.
