Since the initial discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by lijima et al. [122], much interest has been expressed in developing other inorganic nanostructured particles, due to the unique properties assigned to these nanostructures. Indeed, many potential applications have been proposed for silicon carbide nanostructures, including high-strength composites, nanosensors, and nanodevices. 

Nanodevices are systems with nanostructured materials that carry out specific functions with either improved performance or new attributes. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of new device paradigms based on nanostructured materials, including nanoelectronic devices, nano-optoelectronic devices, spintronic devices, nanosensors, and drug and gene delivery systems. 

The functionalization of NTs with polymers via covalent or supramolecular methods has played a vital role in tailoring the engineering of NT-based nanodevices and nanosensors [12], Several research groups have reported the functionalization of NTs with different polymers, which not only increased the solubility and processability of NTs but also endowed them with new properties [85]. In this section we present some representative examples of modified NTs responsive to stimuli, which have interest in different areas, such as materials science and biological applications.
