Nanotubes

[Hilbert Space]

I'm the second year physics student and I'm very interested in nanotubes and nanotechnology. Does anybody know any links to e-books and lectures on nanotubes? Thanks!

I didn't find any free e-book on nanotubes.

Nevertheless, I think that some of these links can help you: :smile:

Many thanks! The first link will help me for sure, but the others are very interesting.

Thanks a lot ryokan, you really helped my project get better.

Suppose you had enough of these nanotubes lying together on a flat surface, packed like sardines, that your naked eye could see a little patch of them. What color would they be? I have been picturing them as gray, but I have absolutely no justification for that.

The stuff I have seen, not pure carbon nanotube, was black. Think of coal, or dark pencil lead.

Or diamond ? :smile:

Also do check if your university subscribes to any e-book! It's an opportunity one shouldn't let pass by.

I know very little about nano-tubes besides that they are cylinders made up of carbon, and they are very strong. Are nanotubes created or are they found in nature? If so where are they found?
