A principal distinction can be made between single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT). Both classes comprise species of most different diameters and lengths. Besides dimensions, it is also the way the graphene layer is rolled up to be a tube that dominantly influences the properties of the resulting materials. Furthermore, there may or may not be caps at the tubes ends, the respective structures then are called closed or open carbon nanotubes. The structural features of single-walled nanotubes will be discussed first in the following before the concept shall be extended to the multiwalled variants then.

In this chapter, carbon nanotubes (Appendix) structure in polymer nanocomposites was studied. It has been shown that this nanofiller feature is its rolling up in ring-like structures. This factor plays a crucial role in determination of nanocomposites structural and mechanical characteristics.
