There is a great deal of pioneering research currently being carried out on the topic of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and how their properties of strength and conductivity can be exploited. However, their mass-production on an industrial scale remains challenging. This book seeks to update the reader in this fast-paced field by providing the latest detailed knowledge on the synthesis and properties of carbon nanotubes, as well as their applications. The first part of the book ranges across topics relating to synthesis, characterization and applications. Here, the reader will find expert perspectives on topics including synthesis by microwave irradiation, the chemical vapour deposition method, a review of growth methods, microwave absorption characteristics, smart materials and structures, and carbon nanotube-based thin films. Part two examines the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes. New studies are presented here on issues including anisotropic electrical properties of magnetic carbon nanotubes, geometric and spectroscopic properties, carbon nanotube AFM probe technology, and strategies for the successful cross-linking of carbon nanotubes. The book is essential reading for nanotechnologists at all levels who want to ensure their knowledge is up to date.
