Thermal oxidation of carbon nanotubes in air was performed by thermogravimetric experiment.

Exceptional thermal stability and oxidation resistance prevents in-service oil degradation which contributes to filter blocking and sludge formation in the oil galleries, crankcase and valve train.

Both gate and field oxides generally are grown by a thermal oxidation process because only thermal oxidation can provide the highest-quality oxides having the lowest. interface trap densities.
