I've been looking into expanding some research time into carbon nanotube synthesis thinking that it was still an obstacle to be able to produce a carbon nanotube long enough to be used for anything. I just found a YouTube video from rice university where they used a wet spin technique to produce...
I'm working with clathrate compounds in a glove box filled with Argon. My problem is that there always remains a small amount of oxygen in the glove box even after multiple purges. This oxygen binds and makes an oxide layer on my clathrates. I don't know how to avoid this and am trying to find...
Cosmicraga, thanks for the info! If you don't mind me asking, is either of these fields your current field?
At any rate, I live in the US and would be able finish with a Master's by 2016 if I took the Chem. Eng. route. Mat. Eng. would be a longer and potentially more costly route.
I do enjoy...
I am currently having to make choices on a graduate program, and I am having a tough time deciding between chemical and material engineering. Both seem to offer highly competitive salaries and employment opportunities, but it seems to me that working as a chemical engineer would mainly be a job...
