Summary: This paper discusses the advantages of DGU over other nanotube sorting strategies, such as dielectrophoresis, selective chemistry, controlled electrical breakdown, and chromatography. In brief, the principle advantages of DGU are its:

  • Demonstrated scalability
  • Compatibility with a wide range of starting materials
  • Use of reversible functionalization chemistry
  • Iterative repeatability
