Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Descriptions, Usage and Applications

Carbon nanotubes  called cylindrical nanostructured allotropes of carbon with a one atom thick, and the diameter depends on the purpose of applications. Carbon nanotubes have extraordinary properties in mechanics and electrics, especially stiffness and strength. Its qualities make carbon nanotubes valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and fields of material science. Number of walls classify the carbon nanotubes as single-walled,  double-walled , triple walled, and  multi walled . Multi-walled means there are multiple nanotubes inside the other nanotubes with different diameters, and there is nothing inside the nanotubes in the case of single-walled nanotube.              Figure 1: Schematic representation of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) and Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT)                               https://www.researchgate.net/p...
