Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Sobre este e-book
So far, many methods have been developed to synthesize SWCNTs. Despite the great achievements in the synthesis and applications of SWCNTs in the past few decades, many challenges remain.
This primer will equip the reader with a foundational understanding of the growth mechanisms of SWCNTs and the advantages and disadvantages of the process and growth conditions of the various techniques. The reader will also learn how to relate the properties and structure of these materials to their specific functionality in the desired application.
