title: Poptube approach for ultrafast carbon nanotube growth.
abstract: Microwave irradiation can be used to heat conductive materials and metallocene precursors to initiate ultrafast CNT growth. It takes only 15-30 seconds to grow CNTs at room temperature in air, without the need for any inert gas protection and additional feed stock gases.
