Researchers demonstrate that the oxidative unzipping of MWCNTs is intercalation-driven, not oxidative chemical-bond cleavage as was formerly proposed. The unzipping mechanism involves three consecutive steps: intercalation-unzipping, oxidation, and exfoliation.

Self-assembly is driven mainly by the system's desire to minimize its energy and achieve equilibrium, but kinetic effects can also play a strong role. Typically, these effects are viewed as complications to be overcome, but a collaboration of researchers has recently shown that these effects can be exploited to engineer a nanostructure in a polymer thin film.
