Introduction to Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon Nanotubes, long, thin cylinders of carbon, were discovered in 1991 by Sumio Iijima. These are large macromolecules that are unique for their size, shape, and remarkable physical properties. They can be thought of as a sheet of graphite (a hexagonal lattice of carbon) rolled into a cylinder. These intriguing structures have sparked much excitement in recent years and a large amount of research has been dedicated to their understanding. Currently, the physical properties are still being discovered and disputed. Nanotubes have a very broad range of electronic, thermal, and structural properties that change depending on the different kinds of nanotube (defined by its diameter, length, and chirality, or twist). To make things more interesting, besides having a single cylindrical wall (SWNTs), Nanotubes can have multiple walls (MWNTs)--cylinders inside the other cylinders See more.
