Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)

About

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanoscale, hollow tubes composed of covalently bonded carbon atoms. They belong to the unique class of materials called nanomaterials. CNTs are typically one carbon atom thick in one or more spatial dimensions and can be visualized as a sheet of graphene rolled into a cylindrical tube. The carbon atoms in CNTs are arranged in the same hexagonal structure as in graphene. Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes have captivated the scientific community with their extraordinary properties. Today, you can transform your research with our range of single, double, and multi-walled nanotubes. Features and Applications With unique structures and dimensional constraints, CNTs exhibit exceptional mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties. From semiconductors and chemical sensors to field emission devices and environmental pollution remediation, the potential uses for our CNTs are vast and varied. Carbon nanotubes demonstrate electrical carrying capacities up to 1000 times that of copper wires, making them ideal for electronic systems and supercapacitors. With carboxylic acid (-COOH) and hydroxyl (-OH) functionalized CNTs, enhancing properties like dispersibility in solvents and biochemical functionality without altering the unique properties of the inner tubes is easy.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) consist of multiple carbon nanotubes nested within one another. The carbon nanotubes are just one atom thick and this gives MWCNTs unique electrical and mechanical properties. Learn more... What are Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT)?
