Electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2004 Oct 15;362(1823):2065-98. doi: 10.1098/rsta.2004.1430.

Abstract

A review of the electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of nanotubes is presented, with particular reference to properties that differ from those of the bulk counterparts and to potential applications that might result from the special structure and properties of nanotubes. Both experimental and theoretical aspects of these topics are reviewed.
