Nanotubes and Related Materials Symposium Held November 27-30, 2000, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

The past decade has witnessed a revolution in carbon science. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991, the field has exploded in magnitude by attracting researchers from disparate fields around the world. Fundamental scientific advances and application; are rapidly emerging due in large part to the unique physical, chemical, mechanical, optical and electrical properties of these nanotubes. This volume, the third in a series from MRS on carbon nanotubes, focuses on current breakthroughs in carbon nanotube synthesis, electronic properties, processing and purification, optical and electrical characterization, mechanical properties, and chemical modification. Papers devoted to potential applications for carbon nanotubes in composites, nanosensors and nanoprobes, display devices, and as the storage medium lor hydrogen are also included.Materials Research Society, Meeting Staff is the author of 'Nanotubes and Related Materials Symposium Held November 27-30, 2000, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.' with ISBN 9781558995437 and ISBN 1558995439.
