 Pristine carbon nanotubes, CNTs, have been found to be effective at stabilizing water and oil emulsions, making them suitable for use in flexible conductive coatings. These CNTs are able to replace traditional low molecular surfactants due to their high hydrophilicity and small number of oxygen functionalized or vacant surfaces. Furthermore, they are easily reusable and environmentally friendly, making them ideal for green technology applications. This article was authored by Anna W. Blatcha, Carolina Z. Maloska, Mike C.
