In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon
nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique …

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed …

We investigate the tight-binding approximation for the dispersion of the π and π* electronic
bands in graphene and carbon nanotubes. The nearest-neighbor tight-binding …

Small-diameter (ca. 0.7 nm) single-wall carbon nanotubes are predicted to display
enhanced reactivity relative to larger-diameter nanotubes due to increased curvature strain …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered a promising nanomaterial for diverse applications
owing to their attractive physicochemical properties such as high surface area, superior …

A systematic study has been performed in order to find an appropriate medium for
solubilization/dispersion of pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Five …

Time-resolved carrier dynamics in single-wall carbon nanotubes is investigated by means of
two-color pump-probe experiments. The recombination dynamics is monitored by probing …

Thin networks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are sprayed onto glass or plastic substrates in
order to obtain conductive transparent coatings. Transparency and conductivity at room …

We study the electronic dispersion in chiral and achiral isolated nanotubes as well as in
carbon nanotube bundles. The curvature of the nanotube wall is found not only to reduce the …

Due to their electrical, chemical, mechanical and thermal properties, carbon nanotubes are
one of the most promising materials for the electronics, computer and aerospace industries …
