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. Some of these applications are now realized in products. Others are demonstrated in early to advanced devices, and one, hydrogen storage, is clouded by controversy. Nanotube cost, polydispersity in nanotube type, and limitations in processing and assembly methods are important barriers for some applications of single-walled nanotubes.read more

A critical assessment of the elastic properties and effective wall thickness of single-walled carbon nanotubes
Chengyuan Wang,Liangchi Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: An in-depth analysis based on the rationale of the nanoscale-to-macroscale deformation relationship of SWCNTs and a critical assessment of the diverse theoretical predictions in the literature found that the in-plane stiffness of SW CNTs is a mechanics quantity that has been consistently reflected by the majority of the existing models.

Jing Kong,Nathan R. Franklin,Chongwu Zhou,Michael Chapline,Shu Peng,Kyeongjae Cho,Hongjie Dai +6 more
TL;DR: The nanotubes sensors exhibit a fast response and a substantially higher sensitivity than that of existing solid-state sensors at room temperature and the mechanisms of molecular sensing with nanotube molecular wires are investigated.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy showed that fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) are nearly uniform in diameter and that they self-organize into “ropes,” which consist of 100 to 500 SWNTs in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with a lattice constant of 17 angstroms.

Nanobeam mechanics: Elasticity, strength, and toughness of nanorods and nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the Young's modulus, strength, and toughness of nanostructures are evaluated using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) approach. And the results showed that the strength of the SiC NRs were substantially greater than those found previously for larger SiC structures, and they approach theoretical values.
