“…The growth was triggered by ac electric fields exerting electrophoretic forces on the objects and this technique may be helpful in growing nanowires, provided that the electrodes are capable of shaping the electric field with the due precision. Finally, as carbon nanotubes and nanorods become increasingly important, methods are being studied to get them assembled in ordered geometries (Harnack et al, 2003;Gupta et al, 2006;Ryan et al, 2006;Nobile et al, 2007;Yan et al, 2007). Another interesting way of patterning might be that of exploiting the natural periodicity of crystals, which can be tuned to some extent by cutting the crystal to expose a particular face.…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), one of the unique one-dimensional nanomaterials, have gained great attention because of their specific characters, versatile functionalization chemistry, and biological compatibility in the past few decades. CNTs can be functionalized via different methods to perform their specific functions. CNTs have been used in various areas of biomedicine as nanocarriers, including cancer diagnosis and therapy. Different molecules such as peptide, antigen, and nucleic acid can be delivered to cancer cells by CNTs with high efficiency. In this review, we summarized the properties of CNTs and the method of CNTs functionalization and illustrated their application in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

“…The controlled deposition of preformed nanotubes from solution onto a substrate with well-defined structures has been a topic of intense research for several years [168]. To be able to control the structure of deposited nanotubes, external forces, such as electrical, mechanical and chemical interactions, are needed to provide guidance toward the desired structures.…”

Abstract. The synthesis, sorting and organization of carbon nanotubes are major challenges toward future applications. This chapter reviews recent advances in these topics, addressing both the bulk production and processing of carbon nanotubes, and their organization into ordered structures, such as fibers, and aligned arrays on surfaces. The bulk synthetic methods are reviewed with emphasis on the current advances toward mass production and selective synthesis. New approaches for the sorting of carbon nanotubes by structure and properties are described in the context of the specific physical or chemical interactions at play, and referring to the characterization methods described in the contribution by Jorio et al. Recent advances in the organization of carbon nanotubes into fibers are reviewed, including methods based on spinning from solution, from dry forests, and directly from the gas phase during growth. The organization of carbon nanotubes on surfaces, as a critical prerequisite toward future applications in nanoelectronics, is reviewed with particular emphasis given to the synthesis of both vertically and horizontally aligned arrays. Vertically aligned growth has been recently boosted by the development of highly efficient catalytic processes. Horizontally aligned growth on surfaces can yield a whole new array of carbon-nanotube patterns, with interesting physical properties and potential applications. Different mechanisms of horizontally aligned growth include field-and flow-directed growth, as well as recently developed methods of surface-directed growth on single-crystal substrates by epitaxial approaches. The proposed mechanisms pertinent to each technique are discussed throughout this review, as well as their potential applications and critical aspects toward future progress.
