Science and Technology of the Twenty-First Century: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the discovery, synthesis, properties, and the latest research advances of carbon nanotubes developed over the past 12 years, and concluded that further experimental and theoretical research is still necessary so that novel technologies will become a reality in the early twenty-first century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes in Liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of milling, ultrasonication, high shear flow, elongational flow, functionalization, and surfactant and dispersant systems on morphology of carbon nanotubes and their interactions in the fluid phase are reviewed.

Quasi-one dimensional metal oxide semiconductors: Preparation, characterization and application as chemical sensors
Elisabetta Comini,Camilla Baratto,Guido Faglia,Matteo Ferroni,Alberto Vomiero,Giorgio Sberveglieri +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date review of metal oxide materials research for gas sensors application, due to the great research effort in the field it could not cover all the interesting works reported, the ones that, according to the authors, are going to contribute to this field's further development were selected and described.
Journal ArticleDOI
One dimensional nanostructured materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the science behind the synthesis and properties of the ODNS rather than the device fabrication, and discuss current research related to environment and toxicology effects and current challenges in this rapidly evolving field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanical analysis of the effective elastic properties of carbon nanotube reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this article, the in-plane elastic properties of carbon nanotubes are calculated using a composite cylinders micromechanics technique as a first step in a two-step process.

A laser ablation method for the synthesis of crystalline semiconductor nanowires
TL;DR: Studies carried out with different conditions and catalyst materials confirmed the central details of the growth mechanism and suggest that well-established phase diagrams can be used to predict rationally catalyst materials and growth conditions for the preparation of nanowires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotube quantum resistors
TL;DR: The conductance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was found to be quantized and Extremely high stable current densities, J > 10(7) amperes per square centimeter, have been attained.
