Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many potential applications due to their atomic structure and consequent mechanical 1, electrical 2 and thermal 3 properties. CNTs can be classified into two distinct structural forms: (i) a single seamless cylindrical shell of sp 2-bonded carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice constituting a single-wall CNT (SWCNT) which typically has a diameter ranging from 0.4 nm to 3nm; (ii) several concentric seamless shells with 0.34 nm interwall spacing, forming a multi-wall CNT (MWCNT) which can have diameters ranging from 1.4 nm to 100 nm.
