Carbon Nanotubes--the Route Toward Applications
TL;DR: Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; field emission displays and radiation sources; hydrogen storage media; and nanometer-sized semiconductor devices, probes, and interconnects.

Ray H. Baughman,Changxing Cui,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Zafar Iqbal,Joseph N. Barisci,G.M. Spinks,Gordon G. Wallace,Alberto Mazzoldi,Danillo de Rossi,Andrew G. Rinzler,Oliver Jaschinski,S. Roth,Miklos Kertesz +12 more
TL;DR: Predictions based on measurements suggest that actuators using optimized nanotube sheets may eventually provide substantially higher work densities per cycle than any previously known technology.

TL;DR: Self-supporting nanotube sheets are initially formed as a highly anisotropic electronically conducting aerogel that can be densified into strong sheets that are as thin as 50 nanometers and the measured gravimetric strength of orthogonally oriented sheet arrays exceeds that of sheets of high-strength steel.

Carbon Structures with Three-Dimensional Periodicity at Optical Wavelengths
Anvar A. Zakhidov,Ray H. Baughman,Zafar Iqbal,Changxing Cui,Ilyas I. Khayrullin,Sócrates O. Dantas,Jordi Marti,Victor G. Ralchenko +7 more
TL;DR: The carbon inverse opals provide examples of both dielectric and metallic optical photonic crystals that strongly diffract light and may provide a route toward photonic band-gap materials.

Fabrication and application of nanofiber ribbons and sheets and twisted and non-twisted nanofiber yarns
Mei Zhang,Shaoli Fang,Ray H. Baughman,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Kenneth Ross Atkinson,Ali E. Aliev,Sergey Li,Chris Williams +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the properties and properties of carbon nanotube yarns, ribbons, and sheets, including extreme toughness, resistance to failure at knots, high electrical and thermal conductivities, high absorption of energy that occurs reversibly, up to 13% strain-to-failure compared with other fibers with similar toughness, retention of strength even when heated in air at 450°C for one hour, and very high radiation and UV resistance, even when irradiated in air.
