TLDR
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.Abstract:
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

Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes Are a New Class of Ion Channel Blockers
TL;DR: A novel class of biological membrane ion channel blockers called single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are identified and postulate new uses for SWNTs in biological applications and provide unexpected insights into the current view of mechanisms governing the interaction of ion channels with blocking molecules.

TL;DR: It is believed that CNx nanotubes are less harmful than MWNTs or SWNTs and might be more advantageous for bioapplications and some other routes of administration did not induce signs of distress or tissue changes on any treated mouse.

Continuous Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites
TL;DR: Under compressive loadings, the nanotube composites can generate more than an order of magnitude improvement in the longitudinal modulus ( up to 3,300%) as well as damping capability (up to 2,100%).

A Superhydrophobic Smart Coating for Flexible and Wearable Sensing Electronics
TL;DR: Flexible multifunctional coatings with thicknesses of only 1 µm can be directly applied to clothing for full-range and real-time detection of human motions, which also show extreme repellency to water, acid, and alkali, which helps the sensors to work under wet and corrosive conditions.

Vibration of carbon nanotubes studied using nonlocal continuum mechanics
Quan Wang,Vijay K. Varadan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlocal continuum mechanics model is developed and applied to study the vibration of both single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and double-weled nanotsubes (DWNTs), via elastic beam theories.

Nanotube molecular wires as chemical sensors
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.

Room-temperature transistor based on a single carbon nanotube
TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of a three-terminal switching device at the level of a single molecule represents an important step towards molecular electronics and has attracted much interest, particularly because it could lead to new miniaturization strategies in the electronics and computer industry.

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.

Thermal transport measurements of individual multiwalled nanotubes.
TL;DR: The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of a single carbon nanotube were measured using a microfabricated suspended device and shows linear temperature dependence with a value of 80 microV/K at room temperature.
