This new book presents a selection of advanced topics on carbon nanotubes—their extraordinary properties, structure, design, fabrication, development, engineering, functionalization, carbon nanotube enabled nanocomposites, characterization, and, moreover, their utility in many applications. The volume highlights the amazing potential of advanced CNT composites in automotive, aeronautics, spacecrafts, transistors replacing Si electronics, energy, purification, hydrogen storage, tissue regeneration, electrochemical supercapacitors, sensing, biomedical applications, agriculture, energy, and technical applications.

The book specifically discusses the applications of carbon nanotubes for a greener environment, as well as applications for biomedical uses, in drug delivery, and in display technology. It also explores the used of CNTs in the energy and aerospace industries, such as for solar energy conversion, as a lubricant additive for enhancing energy efficiency, and more. Other chapters explore the potential of carbon nanotubes in hydrogen storage and carbon nanotube electronics.

Carbon Nanotubes: Functionalization and Potential Applications offers an informative review of research advancements on the many application aspects of carbon nanotubes and will be a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, faculty and students, and industry professionals.
