“…Samsung has produced several generations of prototypes (Fig. 2), including a 9-inch (23-cm) red-blue-green color display that can reproduce moving images (49). Despite this impressive development, it is not certain when or whether the flat panel nanotube displays will be commercially available, considering concurrent improvements in relatively low-cost flat panel liquid crystal displays and the emerging organic and polymeric light-emitting diode displays.…”

Carbon Nanotubes--the Route Toward Applications www.sciencemag.org (this information is current as of April 23, 2007 ):The following resources related to this article are available online at Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; field emission displays and radiation sources; hydrogen storage media; and nanometer-sized semiconductor devices, probes, and interconnects. Some of these applications are now realized in products. Others are demonstrated in early to advanced devices, and one, hydrogen storage, is clouded by controversy. Nanotube cost, polydispersity in nanotube type, and limitations in processing and assembly methods are important barriers for some applications of single-walled nanotubes.

“…To date, a number of SWNT-based proof-of-concept devices (2-7) such as field effect transistors (2), field emission displays (7), and chemical sensors (3,6) have been fabricated, and the integration of the nanotube materials in all cases relies on one's ability to control the placement, orientation, and shape of the nanotube components within the context of the device on the micrometer-to nanometer-length scale. Such positional control over large areas is extremely challenging and currently quite limited.…”

Directed assembly of nanoscale building blocks such as singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into desired architectures is a major hurdle for a broad range of basic research and technological applications (e.g., electronic devices and sensors). Here we demonstrate a parallel assembly process that allows one to simultaneously position, shape, and link SWNTs with sub-100-nm resolution. Our method is based on the observation that SWNTs are strongly attracted to COOH-terminated self-assembled monolayers (COOH-SAMs) and that SWNTs with lengths greater than the dimensions of a COOH-SAM feature will align along the boundary between the COOH-SAM feature and a passivating CH3-terminated SAM. By using nanopatterned affinity templates of 16-mercaptohexadecanonic acid, passivated with 1-octadecanethiol, we have formed SWNT dot, ring, arc, letter, and even more sophisticated structured thin films and continuous ropes. Experiment and theory (Monte Carlo simulations) suggest that the COOH-SAMs localize the solvent carrying the nanotubes on the SAM features, and that van der Waals interactions between the tubes and the COOH-rich feature drive the assembly process. A mathematical relationship describing the geometrically weighted interactions between SWNTs and the two different SAMs required to overcome solvent-SWNT interactions and effect assembly is provided.self-assembly ͉ rings ͉ structured thin films ͉ Monte Carlo simulations S ingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) show promise for applications ranging from ultra-small electronic and sensing devices to multifunctional materials (1). To date, a number of SWNT-based proof-of-concept devices (2-7) such as field effect transistors (2), field emission displays (7), and chemical sensors (3, 6) have been fabricated, and the integration of the nanotube materials in all cases relies on one's ability to control the placement, orientation, and shape of the nanotube components within the context of the device on the micrometer-to nanometer-length scale. Such positional control over large areas is extremely challenging and currently quite limited. Depending on the intended application, one wants to be able to pattern SWNTs as individual tubes (3, 4), small bundles (5), or thin films (6,8,9). Previous studies have shown that individual carbon nanotubes can be positioned (10), bent (11), and even welded (12) with nanometer accuracy by using scanning probe instruments. This level of manipulation is limited to serial and therefore slow processes that span relatively short distances (100 m). Other assembly methods such as Langmuir-Blodgett techniques (13), external field assisted routes (14-19), electrospinning (20), transfer printing (21), and DNA templates (22, 23) also have been explored for nanotube assembly. These parallel methods address the speed limitation posed by conventional scanning probe techniques, but thus far are quite limited with respect to registration control and have demonstrated only coarse placement capabilities. One promising approach to overcoming these limitations i...

“…The theoretical Li storage capacity is expected to be 372 mAh/g when intercalated with CNTs. The charge and discharge phenomena in these batteries are controlled by the Li + intercalation and de-intercalation rates [110,111]. Recently, Frackowiak and show clear advance regarding the use of nanotubes in current technologies, and it is clear that in the near future, further advances will be achieved.…”

The carbon nanotube (CNT) represents one of the most unique inventions in the field of nanotechnology. CNTs have been studied closely over the last two decades by many researchers around the world due to their great potential in different fields. CNTs are rolled graphene with SP 2 hybridization. The important aspects of CNTs are their light weight, small size with a high aspect ratio, good tensile strength, and good conducting characteristics, which make them useful as fillers in different materials such as polymers, metallic surfaces and ceramics. CNTs also have potential applications in the field of nanotechnology, nanomedicine, transistors, actuators, sensors, membranes, and capacitors. There are various techniques which can be used for the synthesis of CNTs. These include the arc-discharge method, chemical vaporize deposition (CVD), the laser ablation method, and the sol gel method. CNTs can be single-walled, double-walled and multi-walled. CNTs have unique mechanical, electrical and optical properties, all of which have been extensively studied. The present review is focused on the synthesis, functionalization, properties and applications of CNTs. The toxic effect of CNTs is also presented in a summarized form.
