Prof. Dr. John Robertson,

Engineering Department, Cambridge University, Cambridge, United Kingdom,

vorgetragen.

Carbon nanotubes are presently famous for their unique and extreme properties, such as high strength, thermal conductivity, ballistic electrical conductivity, etc. However, it is also difficult to manipulate their properties. The talk will review how to control their growth and properties, and then it will review some of their potential applications in field emission displays, microwave amplifiers, transistors, super-capacitors, structural composites, conductive composites, hydrogen storage, etc.
