Carbon Nanotube Clusters: Unveiling the Potential of Aggregated Carbon Nanotubes
Author(s): Michael Wilson*
Carbon nanotube clusters, characterized by the aggregation of individual carbon nanotubes, represent a captivating frontier in nanomaterial’s research, offering a rich playground for exploration and innovation. This article provides an overview of the formation, properties, and applications of carbon nanotube clusters, highlighting their unique collective behaviors and enhanced functionalities. Through spontaneous self-assembly or controlled assembly processes, carbon nanotubes form hierarchical structures with diverse morphologies, including ropes, bundles, and networks, each endowed with distinctive properties. The synergistic interactions within these clusters endow them with superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties compared to individual nanotubes, making them ideal candidates for a wide range of applications. From highperformance electronics and advanced stru.. View more»
