Session: Carbon Nanotubes II: Characterization, Functionalization, and Applications (2010 Annual Meeting)

Description:

This session focuses on applications for carbon nanotube and related materials and includes issues regarding their processing and characterization. The session will feature technology that exploits the novel electronic, electro-mechanical, optical, and structural properties of carbon nanotubes and related materials for the solution of engineering problems. Topics include fuel cells and catalysis, sensors, field effect transistors and other electronic devices, polymer composites, nanotube electrodes, electro-mechanical devices, and energy absorbing materials. The session will also include papers focusing on processing techniques such as purification, separation and chemical functionalization that are necessary to develop nanotube-based technologies. Also included are papers dealing with characterization methods for carbon nanotube materials.
