    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been central materials in the field of nanotechnology and nanomaterials science due to their remarkable physical, physicochemical, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. One of the key issues in the utilization of such seminal materials for both basic researches and applications is the development of a methodology to solubilize or disperse them for the fabrication of an “ink” by the delamination of their tightly bundled structures based on their strong π-π and van der Waals interactions. In this paper, we summarize various approaches to fabricate many different “CNT inks”. In addition, recent developments in the purification and separation techniques of CNTs that is necessary forthe improvement of the reliability and precision of the materials are summarized. Also, some applications of CNT inks are introduced.

    On the thickness or the lattice spacing controlled palladium film system, hydrogen thermal desorption spectrum was measured.
    To search for the α-state depth distribution, the α-state in the Pd(111) film was measured as the function of the Pd film thickness by thermal desorption spectrum. The population amount of the α-state kept increased with the film thickness beyond 103 monolayer. Our results indicate that the α-state formation can spread in the deep bulk region.
    To control the Pd lattice spacing in the film, Pd-Ag superlattice was prepared. On the superlattice film with 2% of lattice expansion, a great amount of H was found to be absorbed in the film at high temperature region between 600 and 1200 K.

    Most of dispersion processes begin with mixing raw powder materials into a solvent.
    The powder surface is wetted with the solvent and the final dispersion is obtained.
    Without a medium, this role is satisfied by a high-shear mixer. In this publication, we detail the structures and applications of dispersion machines from high-shear mixers to high-pressure homogenizers with a focus on medialess dispersion methods.
