Rundown about Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes

Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWNTs) form an extraordinary class of nanotubes, since their morphology and properties are like those of SWNTs(Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes); however they are more impervious to chemicals. The DWNTs(Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes) are more beneficial than basic SWNTs(Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes). Practically, they show higher stability, which can be crucial in many experiments as in field emission applications. DWNTs(Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes) can hold four distinct stages emerging from the electronic type (metallic or semiconducting) of their inner and outer walls. Compared to Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, DWNTs(Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes) have superior properties as in mechanical strength, chemical and thermal state (more stable than SWNT).

DWNT(Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes) can be used in diverse applications related to
Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes can be used in Capacitors
Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes can be used in Solar cells
Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes can be used in Field effect transistors(FET)
Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes can be used in Ultra-fast optical switches
Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes can be used in Mass sensors, etc.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.
