Making Functional Materials With Nanotubes Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings

The possible use of carbon nanotubes in macroscale structures and microdevices has been demonstrated based on their exceptional mechanical, electronic, and chemical properties. The field is rapidly growing with a strong interdisciplinary focus spanning domains of solid-state physics and chemistry, materials engineering, composites, and biosystems. Potential application, for nanotubes range from nanoelectronics to high-strength composites, field-emission displays, and hydrogen-storage materials. This volume brings together researchers from around the world to focus on the design, production and understanding of nanotube-based materials, structures, and devices. Contributions address controlled synthesis routes producing either bulk quantities of nanotubes or organized nanotube arrays designed for specific applications and post-synthesis processing of nanotubes, during which the as-produced nanotubes are manipulated into elaborate nano- to macroscale systems.Nikolaeva, P. is the author of 'Making Functional Materials With Nanotubes Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings' with ISBN 9781558996427 and ISBN 1558996427.
