Tailoring carbon nano structure: Nanocarbons and new devices
Nanocarbons, which have been obtained by controlling the structure and bonding nature at the nanometer scale, can provide highly functional performances. Carbon nanotubes and vapor grown carbon fibers of diameter less than 100 nm can have quantum effects, which are very different from those of conventional carbon fibers. In this paper, preparation and properties of nanocarbon, are demonstrated and discussed.
