The latter method has been developed to form carbon nanotubes coated with Si02 and oxide clusters of Ni, Cu, Cr or Co [6]. But, in all cases the amount of incorporated guest species is limited to a few weight percents. 

Anion detection at microelectrodes has not been studied widely. Amongst the first was the work of de Beer et al. [ 111 ] who manufactured a nitrite sensor with a tip just a few microns in diameter, which could detect nitrite ions down to 1 pM. This proved to be suitable for profiling the concentrations of nitrite anion within biofilms less than 1-mm thick inside water treatment plants. Other workers have found that use of an interdigitated microelectrode array [ 112] allows measurement of iodide via monitoring of its redox peak down to sub-micromole levels, making it a suitable technique for analysing mineral water. Carbon nanotubes coated onto Pt microdiscs have been utilised to make a nitrite sensor [113,114] with detection levels of 0.1 pM. Sulphide has also been detected at nickel microdiscs (50 pm diameter) [115].

Dielectric percolative composites have been synthesized [95]. The materials are based on sulfonated PEEK and multi-walled acidified carbon nanotubes coated with poly(aniline). The multi-walled acidified carbon nanotubes are modified by an situ polymerization technique. This method is useful to achieve eventually a good dispersion of the carbon nanotubes...

Hwang and Hwang [49] have synthesized composite rods (carbon nanotube coated with silica) by using surfactant (CTAB)-carbon nanotube co-micelles as templates. These glass rods produced by the sol-gel method were used as inclusions to reinforce ceramic matrices. A similar approach was used by Ning et al [50] to coat the surface of CNTs with silica.
