 Moreover, when casting in water, the edges of the film can lift due to surface tension effects of the remaining solvent in the system that can pull carbon nanotubes closer together.Buckydiscs with heights larger than 1 mm can be referred to as buckycolumns.These carbon nanotube monoliths often exhibit hyperboloid geometries and are highly compressible 

It is possible to use square housing to generate square cross sections, known as buckyprisms.
