Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Since their discovery multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have received tremendous attention due to their unique electrical optical physical chemical and mechanical properties. Remarkable advances have been made in the synthesis purification structural characterization functionalization and application of MWCNTs. Their particular characteristics make them well suited for a plethora of applications in a number of fields namely nanoelectronics nanofluids energy management (electro)catalysis materials science construction of (bio)sensors based on different detection schemes multifunctional nanoprobes for biomedical imaging and sorbents for sample preparation or removal of contaminants from wastewater. They are also useful as anti-bacterial agents drug delivery nanocarriers etc. The current relevant application areas are countless. This Special Issue presents original research and review articles that address advances trends challenges and future perspectives regarding synthetic routes structural features properties behaviors and industrial or scientific applications of MWCNTs in established and emerging areas.
