In 1991, Iijama’s discovery of<br />
microtubules of graphitic carbon and<br />
the subsequent discovery of singlewalled<br />
carbon na-notubes (CNTs) in<br />
1993 has led to intensive worldwide<br />
experimental and theoretical efforts<br />
devoted to the inves-tigation of their<br />
generation and applications. CNTs<br />
possess unique mechanical, electrical,<br />
thermal, optical and kinetic properties.<br />
Since the discovery of carbon<br />
nanotubes (CNTs), numerous ideas<br />
for applications have arose in a wide<br />
variety of scientific disciplines,<br />
including (1) electronics (wires,<br />
transistors, switches, intercom-nects,<br />
memory storage devices); (2) optoelectronics<br />
(light-emitting diodes,<br />
lasers); (3) s ensors; (4)<br />
field emission devices (displays,<br />
scanning and electron<br />
probes/microscopes); (5) batteries/fuel<br />
cells; (6) fibers, reinforced composites;<br />
(7) medicine/biology (fluores-cent<br />
markers for cancer treatment,<br />
biological labels, drug delivery<br />
carriers); (8) catalysis; and (9) gas<br />
storage<br />
