Carbon nanotubes, tubes of carbon atoms less than a nanometre in diameter, have attracted considerable attention in recent decades due to their great strength and conductivity properties. This book seeks to inform the reader about the development of carbon nanotubes and their many exciting applications in a range of the fields. The first part of the book presents new insights into key topics. The contributors report their findings on topics including a scientometric study of carbon nanotubes, microwave dielectric properties, and nanotube-based gas sensors and their mechanisms. Part two considers the growth and applications, both present and potential, of carbon nanotubes. Here, new findings are presented on topics including carbon nanotubes in biomedicine and biosensing, applications in electrochemical sensors, sensors for gas and ammonia, a simulation of the impact of carbon allotropes on the cholesterol domain, interactions between carbon nanotubes and proteins, and the development of applications in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). This wide-ranging book will appeal to students, graduate students and researchers in this important and continually expanding field of nanotechnology.
