Abstract
Carbon nanotubes have been studied extensively since their discovery [1] in 1991, because of the extraordinary physical properties they exhibit in electronic, mechanical, and thermal processes. A single-walled nanotube may be considered as a specific, one-dimensional giant molecule composed purely of carbon, whereas properties of multiwalled nanotubes are closest to those of graphite’s in-plane properties, having sp2 hybridization of carbon bonds. To prepare closed-shell structures, one needs to insert topological defects into the hexagonal structure of graphene sheets. The extraordinary physical and chemical properties [2] and possible applications derived from these properties are attributed to the one-dimensionality and helicity of the nanotube structure.
