Carbon nanotubes in POM matrix, SEM C016 / 8042
Carbon nanotubes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of carbon nanotubes in a POM matrix. Carbon nanotubes are a type of fullerene, a structural type (allotrope) of carbon. Fullerenes, which were first discovered in 1985 can be used as catalysts, lubricants and superconductors. Magnification: x303 when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of carbon nanotubes in a POM matrix. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the mesmerizing structure and composition of these cylindrical wonders, which are a type of fullerene - a unique form of carbon with diverse applications. Discovered in 1985, fullerenes have proven to be versatile materials that can serve as catalysts, lubricants, and even superconductors. In this image, we witness their atomic beauty magnified at x303 when printed at 10 centimetres high. The vibrant colours highlight the complex molecular arrangement within each nanotube. These macromolecules possess an allotropic nature, meaning they exist in multiple structural forms while maintaining their chemical identity. Richard Buckminster Fuller's pioneering work on fullerene structures is honored here as these tubes bear his name. Their presence within the POM matrix signifies their potential for various scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs. As we delve into this microscopic realm captured by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), we gain insight into the remarkable properties of carbon atoms arranged in such elegant symmetry. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's ability to explore and harness the hidden wonders found within our world at both macroscopic and microscopic scales.
