Silicon Carbide Nanotubes SiCNTs

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. 

SiC nanotubes (SiCNTs) have been synthesized by using CNTs as a template. Forthis,
