摘要：

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most promising synthesis route for economically producing large quantities of carbon nanotubes. We have developed a low-cost CVD process for the continuous production of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Here we report the effects of reactor temperature, reaction time, and carbon partial pressure on the yield, purity, and size of the MWNTs produced. A simple method for purifying and healing structural defects in the nanotubes is described. The dispersion of nanotubes in polymer matrices has been investigated as a means of deriving new and advanced engineering materials. These composite materials have been formed into fibers and thin films and their mechanical and electrical properties determined.
