Carbon Nanotubes (CNT)
8/29/2008
“Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are
allotropes of carbon with a nanostructure that can have a length-to-diameter
ratio greater than 1,000,000. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel
properties that make them potentially useful in many applications in
nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science, as
well as potential uses in architectural fields. They exhibit extraordinary
strength and unique electrical properties, and are efficient conductors of heat.
Inorganic nanotubes have also been synthesized.”

************************************************
“Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, which also
includes the spherical buckyballs. The cylindrical nanotube usually has at least
one end capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure. Their name is
derived from their size, since the diameter of a nanotube is in the order of a
few nanometers (approximately 1/50,000th of the width of a human hair), while
they can be up to several millimeters in length (as of 2008). Nanotubes are
categorized as single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs).”

*************************************************
“The nature of the bonding of a nanotube is described by applied quantum
chemistry, specifically, orbital hybridization. The chemical bonding of
nanotubes is composed entirely of sp2 bonds, similar to those of
graphite. This bonding structure, which is stronger than the sp3
bonds found in diamonds, provides the molecules with their unique strength.
Nanotubes naturally align themselves into "ropes" held together by Van der Waals
forces. Under high pressure, nanotubes can merge together, trading some sp˛
bonds for spł bonds, giving the possibility of producing strong,
unlimited-length wires through high-pressure nanotube linking.”
