摘要
The remarkable properties of carbon nanotubes give promise of a diverse array of revolutionary technologies and applications. Synthesis remains the key to their development. This article will review many of the current methods used for nanotube synthesis and the recent results towards achieving the goal of large-scale production with rational control of nanotube structure and properties.
