Overview

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical nanostructures formed from one or more layers of graphene rolled into seamless hollow tubes with diameters on the nanometer scale. They are classified as single-walled, consisting of one graphene cylinder, or multi-walled, comprising concentric tubes, and their electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties depend strongly on diameter and on the chirality with which the lattice is wrapped. Carbon nanotubes exhibit exceptional tensile strength and stiffness combined with low density, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and large surface area, making them of wide interest across materials science and nanotechnology. These properties underpin diverse applications, including reinforcement of composites and ceramics to improve toughness and mechanical performance, energy storage, electronics, sensing, and biomedical uses. In advanced materials, single-walled carbon nanotubes are incorporated into nanocomposites and consolidated by techniques such as spark plasma sintering to enhance the behavior of carbide and ceramic matrices, and related carbon nanomaterials such as graphene are studied for similar reinforcement of composite structures. Research addresses the synthesis, purification, functionalization, and dispersion of nanotubes, the characterization of their mechanical and physical properties, and strategies to translate their nanoscale advantages into bulk materials and devices. Understanding carbon nanotube structure-property relationships remains central to engineering next-generation composites and functional nanomaterials.
