Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the many nanocarbon forms and exhibit a unique and extraordinary combination of physical and mechanical properties. They have been researched during the last two decades and have displayed unprecedented performance in a variety of applications. This chapter discusses the synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications of CNTs. It is written in language that is relatively easy to understand and is intended for readers who are new to the field and want to gain a broad understanding of this material.
