Els Nanotubs de carboni com a plantilles per al creixement dels cristalls més petits del món Authors Gerard Tobías Rossell Abstract This article reports on carbon nanotubes, discovered at the end of the last century. Carbon nanotubes are becoming one of the most promising materials at the technological level. An overview of the different methods for their synthesis and purification is given, and the remarkable properties of these new materials are highlighted. Among the wide range of applications of carbon nanotubes, we will focus on their use as templates for growing nanocrystals. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
