Study on the removal of heavy metal ions from industry waste by carbon nanotubes: Effect of the surface modification: a review (2016, background): “Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have captured the interest as a highly potential adsorbent due to their unique structural, electronic, optoelectronic, semiconductor, as well as mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, they have been extensively used to remove heavy metals in wastewater treatment (Iiji”
Carbon nanotube- and graphene-reinforced multiphase polymeric composites: review on their properties and applications (2019, background): “The addition of 11 wt% GNS enhanced Young’s modulus from 2.01 to 4.04 GPa, whereas the maximum tensile strength and elongation achieved were 98.5 MPa and 28.9% with the incorporation of 0.5 wt% and 0.1 wt% GNS, respectively.”
From graphene constrictions to single carbon chains (2009, background): “Similar carbon chain configurations have been observed previously in carbon nanotube samples [8, 26] but were often not stable enough for a TEM image to be recorded [26, 27].”
