ResumoPolycarbonate(PC) layer was introduced onto the surface of the purified carbon nanotubes(CNTs) by solution mixing. The as encapsulated nanotubes can be effectively cut short by ball milling for several hours. The average length of carbon nanotubes after 10 h of ball milling is about 60 nm. The polymer layer acts as a micro-cutting medium and stimulates shortening the carbon nanotubes.
