Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Since the carbon nanotubes were first discovered by Iijima in 1991, CNTs have been the focus of intense research by many groups. Nearly 7000 papers and 700 theses on carbon nanotubes can be found from the eminent journals such as Nature and Science in the last decade. Since carbon nanotubes show impressive mechanical, physical and electronic properties such as high stiffness, high strength, low density, and excellent thermal conductivity, suggesting its role in light-weight high strength material application. A great quantity of important research has evidently been done in this field. The purpose of this thesis research is to investigate …
