Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Carbon Nanotubes takes a broad look at CNTs and the tools used to study them. It opens with a general introduction to the basic characteristics and the history of CNTs, followed by discussions on synthesis methods and the growth of "peapod" structures. Coverage then moves to electronic properties and band structures of single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs), magnetic properties, Raman spectroscopy of electronic and chemical behavior, and electromechanical properties and applications in NEMS. Turning to applications, the final sections of the book explore mechanical properties of SWNTs spun into fibers, sidewall functionalization in composites, and using SWNTs as tips for scanning probe microscopes.

Book News Annotation:

This work introduces carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the science used to investigate them. Balancing basic and applied nanotube science, the book surveys characterization, formation, and separation methods, and explains how to integrate nanotubes with other materials and how to build them into larger systems. Some applications examined include Raman spectroscopy of electronic and chemical behavior, mechanical properties of single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) spun into fibers, and the use of SWNTs as tips for scanning probe microscopes. O'Connell is a research scientist. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications features up-to-date information on current characterization, synthesis, and separation methods. This book describes the properties of elemental carbon and explains different synthesizing methods such as laser ablation, catalytic vapor deposition, and carbon arc. In addition, this text discusses different purification and separation techniques of nanotubes, including size exclusion. It offers a comparative analysis of carbon nanotubes with other nanomaterials for practical applications. Focusing on experimental and empirical results rather than theory, this book explores the challenges of making carbon nanotubes commercially viable.
