摘要
The potential use of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers as smart composite materials is discussed in this paper. An overview of the properties of carbon nanotube materials is presented, and then four applications under development are briefly discussed. The first application is electrochemical actuation in dry and aqueous environments. The second is a carbon nanotube polymer piezoresistive strain sensor developed for structural health monitoring. Third, nanotubes are used with an electrolyte for harvesting power from structural vibration. Fourth, a carbon nanotube bioelectronic sensor is discussed. Tying all this together, a vision is presented for using nanoscale smart materials to synthesize intelligent electronic structures with prescribed elastic and electrical properties for a wide range of new applications. Hurdles to be overcome to achieve this goal are also discussed. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
