RBis, you bring forth a question that has been raised before I believe, but not answered. What % by weight and/or volume are the nonotubes?

A second question...someone posted that (the?) clay is found world wide and is readily available. Are these nanotubes in clay readily available?

What we need here on board is a scientist/engineer who is familar with these items that can post and answer such questions.

Microtubes vs. nanotubes...by definition there is a difference between the two despite whether it matters or not or whether it has been used this way or not. A microtube, while very small, can still be 10 to 100 times bigger than a nanotube.

OK, enought for today. I'm invested in ALMI despite my questions for these tubes do seem to have promising applications.

RBisPoo: This link refers to Halloysite nanotubes. It's quite possible the clay contains a range of tube sizes.
