Carbon nanotubes have received a huge amount of research attention in recent decades, with many people claiming that these tiny tubes of carbon atoms have revolutionary implications in fields such as drug delivery, battery design, and optical devices. This book brings the reader the latest research on the current applications of carbon nanotubes in a wide range of fields, as well as suggesting directions for potential future applications. In the first part of the book, the expert contributors offer their findings on an array of applications. Topics covered include current applications of CNT composite electroplating, graphene phytotoxicity in the seedling stage of vegetable crops, novel carbon nanotube-based hybrid composites for sensing applications, novel nanocomposites for biological applications, and foam materials made from carbon nanotubes. In part two, further topics in the applications of nanotubes are described and evaluated. Applications considered include solid phase (micro)extraction tools, carbon nanotube supercapacitors, and DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes. Students and advanced researchers in nanotechnology will find an excellent range of practical insights in this work, as well as inspiration for their own studies.
