2.6 Structure of nanomaterials

1D nanomaterials – Carbon nanotubes

Single walled carbon nanotube

(SWCNT)
Graphene sheet

• multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)

• different conformations: different conductivity

• electron emission (field emission)
• remarkable mechanical properties

• hydrogen adsorption

• easy electrolyte contact
• polymer strengthening

• transistor components

• drug or chemical storage
