The conductance of MWCNTs is quantized. The experimental setup to measure the conducting properties involved the replacement of an STM tip with a nanotube fiber that was lowered into a liquid metal to establish the electrical contact. The conductance value observed corresponded to one unit of quantum conductance (Go = 2e /h = 12.9 kQ ). This value may reflect the conductance of the external tube because, for energetic reasons, the different layers are electrically insulated [150]. Finally, the conductance of semiconductor nanotubes depends on the voltage applied to the gate electrode their band gap is a function of their diameter and helicity [145] and the ON/OFF ratio of the transistors fabricated with semiconductor nanotubes is typically 10 at room temperature and can be as high as 10 at...

The SWCNTs fibers were synthesized using wet spinning process of solutions comprising nanotubes, surfactant and water. This process provides polymer-free nanotubes fibers without the need for super acid. The fabrication procedure was described in [6]. The SWCNT material prepared by laser ablation was used for making the fibers.
