Study of Carbon Nanotube-Substrate Interaction

Abstract EN

Environmental effects are very important in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This work reviews the importance of the substrate in single-wall carbon nanotube properties.

Contact with a substrate can modify the nanotube properties, and such interactions have been broadly studied as either a negative aspect or a solution for developing carbon nanotube-based nanotechnologies.

This paper discusses both theoretical and experimental studies where the interaction between the carbon nanotubes and the substrate affects the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of the tubes.
