Carbon nanotubes : A status report

To begin with, one could ask “Why are we so interested in nanometer scale hollow tubes of carbon with typical aspect ratios of about 100?” From a materials science perspective, the oil crisis of the 1970s provided a major impetus for the development of materials that combined light weight with excep...
