TY - JOUR AV - none N2 - The field of nanotechnology continues to develop. Carbon based materials with different structure and dimensions become increasingly important in the field. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are particularly promising due to their anisotropic extraordinary electrical, thermal and mechanical properties that have captured the imagination of researchers worldwide. However, the complexity involved in synthesis of nanotubes in a predictable manner has held back the development of real-world carbon nanotube based applications. In this chapter the structure and synthesis methods will be discussed of CNTs and other forms of nanostructures of carbons. Furthermore, their structuring into macroscopic assemblies, like mats and fibres will be presented as it has important role in future industrial applications of these materials. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
