Reich S., Thornsen C., Maultzsch J. Carbon nanotubes

InTech. 2011. 368 p. Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes have been considered as one of the most promising materials for a wide range of applications, in virtue of their outstanding properties. During the last two decades, both single-walled and multi-walled CNTs probably represented the hottest research topic concerning materials science, equally from a fundamental and from an applicative point of view. There is a prevailing opinion...

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2006, Pages: 244 The discovery and rapid evolution of carbon nanotubes have led to a vastly improved understanding of nanotechnology, as well as dozens of possible applications for nanomaterials of different shapes and sizes ranging from composites to biology, medicine, energy, transportation, and electronic devices. Nanotubes and Nanofibers offers an overview of structure–property relationships, synthesi...

Cavendish Laboratory, and Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, 2010. - 20 p. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pattern formation of carbon nanotube-polymer composite films yields well-defined patterns on the micrometer scale along with the alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within these patterns. Conductive pathways in nanotube networks formed during EHD patterning of nanocomposite films results in a substantial inc...

2001 Elsevier Science B.V. - 74 р. Carbon nanostructures (the fullerenes and the carbon nanotubes) have become increasingly important during the last 15 years concerning both their basic physical and chemical properties as well as potential applications. In order to gain a basic understanding of the electronic properties of carbon nanostructures a wealth of experimental and theoretical studies has been performed world-wide. In this review, a summ...

InTech. 2011. 696 p. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), discovered in 1991, have been a subject of intensive research for a wide range of applications. These one-dimensional (1D) graphene sheets rolled into a tubular form have been the target of many researchers around the world. This book concentrates on the semiconductor physics of carbon nanotubes, it brings unique insight into the phenomena encountered in the electronic structure when operating with c...

Springer. 2006. 270 p. The book comprises reviews on various topics of carbon nanotube research from specialists in the field, together with reports on on-going research. Both are intended to give a detailed picture of the remarkable properties of these one-dimensional nanostructures. Particular attention is paid to the synthesis, characterization, properties, and application of nanotubes. The book will be an indispensable introduction for the n...

Elsevier Science, 2008, 215 pages This volume is devoted to mostly to nanotubes, unique synthetic nanoscale quantum systems whose physical properties are often singular (i.e. record-setting). Nanotubes can be formed from a myriad of atomic or molecular species, the only requirement apparently being that the host material or "wall fabric" be configurable as a layered or sheet-like structure. Nanotubes with sp2-bonded atoms such as carbon, or bo...

InTech. 2011. 410 p. Polymer nanocomposites are a class of material with a great deal of promise for potential applications in various industries ranging from construction to aerospace. The main difference between polymeric nanocomposites and conventional composites is the filler that is being used for reinforcement. In the nanocomposites the reinforcement is on the order of nanometer that leads to a very different final macroscopic property. Du...
