Report: Vietnam hawks half-price nanotubes

February 9, 2009: The Institute of Materials Science, based in Hanoi, is selling carbon nanotubes at half the price of international competitors, according to a report in theVietNamNet news site.

The report said the institute’s lab can produce 100g-300g of carbon nanotubes per day, with production costs of around $0.06 per gram compared to $1 per gram elsewhere in the world.

The article quotes Phan Ngoc Minh, the institute’s deputy director, as saying that it is difficult to commercialize carbon nanotubes in Vietnam. Minh and his team have found their first customers in the Hai Duong Pumping Machine Company and the Hung Yen Technological Teacher Training University, according to the report.
