What are single-wall carbon nanotubes?
Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibit extraordinary properties due to their unusual structure. They consist of a hollow cylinder of carbon, typically ~ 1nm in diameter, with very high aspect ratio (typically > 1,000). This structure can have remarkable optical and electronic properties, tremendous strength and flexibility, and high thermal and chemical stability. As a result, SWCNTs are expected to revolutionize several industries, including displays, electronics, health care and composites.
