FAQs - S-VIS | Surrey NanoSystems

Original Vantablack was a functionalised ‘forest’ of millions upon millions of incredibly small tubes made of carbon, or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown in a CVD reactor at 400°C. Each nanotube in the Vantablack forest has a diameter of around 10 nanometers and they were typically 30 microns long.

subrealism: Carbon Based: Nanotubes and Vantablack

2017-8-25 · Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family. Their name is derived from their long, hollow structure with the walls formed by one-atom-thick sheets of carbon, called graphene.These sheets are rolled at specific and discrete ("chiral") angles, and the combination of the rolling angle and radius decides the nanotube properties; for example, whether the individual nanotube shell is a ...

What ever happened to the blackest black? | The Outline

Vantablack is not a pigment. It isn’t a paint. It’s not even a color. The better word for it would be coating. Things become Vantablack-black through a process called chemical vapor deposition that first coats a substrate, then applies heat and pressure for hundreds of hours, forcing carbon to bond into structures called nanotubes.
