This work presents research from around the world on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), encompassing both single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs), and their applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and other fields of materials science. Two short communications look at quantum transport in carbon nanotubes, and asymptotic analysis of coagulation-fragmentation equations. The book's 15 chapters cover topics such as surface science studies on CNTs, residual metallic catalyst impurities in carbon nanotubes, freestanding silicon nanocrystals, computational analysis of the interfacial bonding characteristics of CNT/polymer composites, electrical properties of a CNT/polymer nanocomposite, biocompatibility differences between dispersed and vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes, and dispersion and field emission properties of CNTs. B&w and color images are included. Information on the editor is not given.
