Interested in nanotubes and nanotechnology

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

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

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

maybe useful...

 

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 ?

 

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?
