Abstract
AbstractA wide range of potential applications was suggested shortly after carbon nanotubes were discovered, including new super-strong materials, field-emission devices, hydrogen storage systems, novel electronic devices, and more. In this article, the actual advances in the technology of nanotubes over the last decade are examined. Particular attention is focused on current commercially viable applications and those with imminent commercial promise. The relatively large number of nanotube-related patents and nanotube-based startup companies stand in contrast to the relatively low output in commercial applications. The drive toward nanotube applications, in contrast to nanotube science, is investigated.
