Amorphous carbon nanotube (a-CNT) brushes were prepared by the following procedure.12 Polycarbonate membranes with a pore diameter of 220 nm were soaked in 22 mL of a 0.5 M aqueous solution of glucose in a 25 mL Teflon-lined autoclave. The same procedure was repeated with polycarbonate 

BC4N nanotube remains metallic if ordered BN bonds are present in all the six-membered rings.
