Call for Papers [Special Topic]
Carbon Nanotube The special topic calls for papers on Carbon Nanotube and such papers will appear in the journal Advances in Natural Science as a special column. Description Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000:1, significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. In particular, owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity and mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes find applications as additives to various structural materials. As a special category of nanoparticles, CNT have demonstrated unparalleled performances. Since the turn of the century, the outstanding properties of carbon nanotubes have gained significant recognition. Research progress in CNT is accelerating at an unprecedented speed. In this special topic, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Carbon Nanotube.
Requirements In addition to the Review and Original Articles by invited speakers, we are inviting you to submit a relevant research paper on Carbon Nanotube for consideration. Papers will be subject to normal peer review and must comply with the Guide for Authors. To submit papers to the “Carbon Nanotube” Special Topic, please go to http://www.cscanada.net. With your submission, please state clearly to the editor that your manuscripts are submitted to the Special Topic Carbon Nanotube.
