Applications carbon nanotubes

Many of the carbon nanotube applications presently under consideration relate to multi-wall carbon nanotubes, partly because of their greater availability, and because the applications do not explicitly depend on the ID quantum effects associated with the small diameter single-wall carbon nanotubes.

There are many applications for diamonds and related materials, e.g., diamondlike carbon films, and there are potential applications for Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes that have not yet been realised. However, the great majority of engineering carbons, including most of those described in this book, have graphitic microstructures or disordered graphitic microstructures. Also, most engineering carbon materials are derived firom organic precursors by heat-treatment in inert atmospheres (carbonisation). A selection of technically-... 

The structure-property relations of fullerenes, fullerene-derived solids, and carbon nanotubes are reviewed in the context of advanced technologies for carbon-hased materials. The synthesis, structure and electronic properties of fullerene solids are then considered, and modifications to their structure and properties through doping with various charge transfer agents are reviewed. Brief comments are included on potential applications of this unique family of new materials. 

Structurally, carbon nanotubes of small diameter are examples of a onedimensional periodic structure along the nanotube axis. In single wall carbon nanotubes, confinement of the stnreture in the radial direction is provided by the monolayer thickness of the nanotube in the radial direction. Circumferentially, the periodic boundary condition applies to the enlarged unit cell that is formed in real space. The application of this periodic boundary condition to the graphene electronic states leads to the prediction of a remarkable electronic structure for carbon nanotubes of small diameter. We first present... 

As further research on fullerenes and carbon nanotubes materials is carried out, it is expected, because of the extreme properties exhibited by these carbon-based materials, that other interesting physics and chemistry will be discovered, and that promising applications will be found for fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and related materials. 

No superconductivity has yet been found in carbon nanotubes or nanotube arrays. Despite the prediction that ID electronic systems cannot support supercon-ductivity[33,34], it is not clear that such theories are applicable to carbon nanotubes, which are tubular with a hollow core and have several unit cells around the circumference. Doping of nanotube bundles by the insertion of alkali metal dopants between the tubules could lead to superconductivity. The doping of individual tubules may provide another possible approach to superconductivity for carbon nanotube systems. 

Recently, the structure of some helical carbon nanotubes was examined [3], and the present work is an attempt at completing the geometrical approach to the structural problems encountered in the case of tubules with circular cross-sections. However, most of the conclusions in the present work are applicable to nanotubes witli polygonal cross-sections that have also been shown to exist.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a set of materials with different structures and properties. They are among the most important materials of modern nanoscience and nanotechnology field. They combine inorganic, organic, bio-organic, coUoidal, and polymeric chemistry and are chemically inert. They are insoluble in any solvent and their chemistry is in a key position toward interdisciphnary applications, for example, use as supports for catalysts and catalytic membranes [20, 21].
