Features: This book is primarily based on the comprehensive summary of the research achievements of the author's research group in the preparation, properties, and applications of various carbon nanotube macrostructures. It systematically introduces the preparation processes, detection and characterization, growth mechanisms, as well as the related properties and potential applications of various carbon nanotube macrostructures. Carbon nanotube macrostructures include single-walled carbon nanotube filaments (10–40 cm in length), single-walled carbon nanotube films, double-walled carbon nanotube films, aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube arrays, as well as carbon nanotube strips and pressed bodies obtained through certain post-processing techniques. Building on the summary of the preparation processes for high-quality single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotube macrostructures, the book separately studies the electrical, optical, mechanical, composite material, field emission, and energy storage characteristics of single-walled, double-walled, and multi-walled carbon nanotube macrostructures, and explores their potential applications. The monograph concludes with a review of the current research status and progress of carbon nanotube macrostructures both domestically and internationally, providing an outlook on their potential applications. This book is suitable for professionals engaged in nanotechnology, graduate students, and researchers with a basic understanding of materials science. It is also suitable for non-professional readers interested in carbon nanotubes. The research project of this book was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. This book systematically introduces the preparation processes, detection and characterization, growth mechanisms, as well as the related properties and potential applications of various carbon nanotube macrostructures.
