Carbon Nanotubes: Properties, Performance & Applications

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted particular interest because they are predicted, and indeed observed, to have remarkable mechanical and other physical properties. The combination of these properties with very low densities suggests that CNTs are ideal candidates for high performance polymer composites. This book builds a solid background in characterisation and fabrication methods while integrating the physics, chemistry, and biology facets. This book focuses on applications and examining engineering aspects.
