TL;DR: The mechanical response of 15 single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) ropes under tensile load was measured and strain data were obtained and they broke at strain values of 5.3% or lower.

TL;DR: It is speculated that exposure to combustion-generated MWCNTs in fine PM may play a significant role in air pollution-related cardiopulmonary diseases by pollutants, and the possible mechanisms of CNT pathogenesis in the lung and the impact of residual metals and other impurities on the toxicological manifestations are presented.

TL;DR: SWCNT inhalation was more effective than aspiration in causing inflammatory response, oxidative stress, collagen deposition, and fibrosis as well as mutations of K-ras gene locus in the lung of C57BL/6 mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of polystyrene composites with functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), prepared by the in-situ generation and reaction of organic diazonium compounds, were characterized using meltstate linear dynamic viscoelastic measurements.

TL;DR: While the primary focus of this review is on the science framework of SWCNT growth, connections to mechanisms underlying the synthesis of other 1D and 2D materials such as boron nitride nanotubes and graphene are drawn.
