Self-assembly, which makes use of molecules rather than atomic units, offers a bottom-up
approach to the construction of new materials on multiple length scales.(1-9) By precisely …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a nanostructure that can have a
length‐to‐diameter ratio greater than 1,000,000. Techniques have been developed to …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been recognized as a promising material in a wide range of

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major
impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …

We review the present state of polymer nanocomposites research in which the fillers are
single-wall or multiwall carbon nanotubes. By way of background we provide a brief …
