We employ a combination of gas phase particle mobility and mass methods to make the first absolute density measurement of gas phase grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The approach combines a tandem differential mobility analyzer and aerosol particle mass analyzer in series to achieve two steps of electrical mobility classifications of the CNTs and one of mass classification. In the first mobility classification step a stream of monodisperse catalytic particles was produced by pulsed laser ablation. These mobility-classified catalysts seeded the aerosol growth of CNTs, where were directly passed to a second electrical mobility classification step which allows classification of the diameter-controlled CNTs in length. These diameter- and length-classified CNTs were finally introduced into the aerosol particle mass analyzer to measure their mass distribution. We found that the condensed phase density of CNTs was 1.74 +/- 0.16 g/cm(3) for two different groups of CNTs with diameters of similar to 15 and similar to 22 nm. This value is lower (about 3 sigma) than for graphite, and about 1 sigma lower than the average value for density measurements for carbon black. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
