Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 80))

Abstract

A review of the close connection between the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes and those of graphite and its related materials is presented in order to gain new insights into the exceptional properties of carbon nanotubes. The two dominant types of bonding (sp 2 and sp 3) that occur in carbon materials and carbon nanotubes are reviewed, along with the structure and properties of carbon materials closely related to carbon nanotubes, such as graphite, graphite whiskers, and carbon fibers. The analogy is made between the control of the properties of graphite through the intercalation of donor and acceptor species with the corresponding doping of carbon nanotubes.
