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

Structure and crystallization behavior of Nylon 66/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites at low carbon nanotube contents
TL;DR: In this paper, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were modified with poly(hexamethylene adipamide) via a controlled polymer solution crystallization method, and a "nanohybrid shish kebab" structure was found wherein the MWNT resembled the shish while Nylon 66 lamellar crystals formed the kebabs.

High-Performance Carbon Nanotube Transparent Conductive Films by Scalable Dip Coating
Francesca Mirri,Anson W. K. Ma,Tienyi T. Hsu,Natnael Behabtu,Shannon L. Eichmann,Colin C. Young,Dmitri E. Tsentalovich,Matteo Pasquali +7 more
TL;DR: Transparent conductive carbon nanotube films were fabricated by dip-coating solutions of pristine CNTs dissolved in chlorosulfonic acid and then removing the CSA to preserve the length and quality and operate at high CNT concentration and coating speed without using surfactants.

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.
