Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications.9780849327483 Carbon nanotubes See nanotube. ; properties and applications. Ed. by Michael O'Connell. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2006 319 pages $99.95 Hardcover TA455 This work introduces carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the science used to investigate them. Balancing basic and applied nanotube A carbon molecule that resembles a cylinder made out of chicken wire one to two nanometers in diameter by any number of millimeters in length. Accidentally discovered by a Japanese researcher at NEC in 1990 while making Buckyballs, they have potential use in many applications. science, the book surveys characterization, formation, and separation methods, and explains how to integrate nanotubes with other materials and how to build them into larger systems. Some applications examined include Raman spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used in condensed matter physics and chemistry to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.[1] of electronic and chemical behavior, mechanical properties of single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) spun into fibers, and the use of SWNTs as tips for scanning probe microscopes. O'Connell is a research scientist. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
