Since carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered, due to their unique and novel physical and chemical characteristics, many studies focus on them. In this article, a two-dimensional (2D) curvature elastic energy model for isotropic tube is presented, and reduced to a one-dimensional (1D) continuous model which is in accordance with Kirchhoff elastic rod theory. The problems remaining to be solved are discussed.

Although carbon nanotubes can be described as a seamlessly curled graphene nanosheet, two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) and one-dimensional oxidized carbon nanotubes (OCNTs), especially with coexisting heavy metals, have different fates and environmental risks, such as deposition, degradation and cytotoxicity.

Fluids confined within narrow channels exhibit a variety of phases and phase transitions associated with their reduced dimensionality. In this review paper, we illustrate the crossover from quasi-one dimensional to higher effective dimensionality behavior of fluids adsorbed within different carbon nanotubes geometries. In the single nanotube geometry, no phase transitions can occur at finite temperature. Instead, we identify a crossover from a quasi-one dimensional to a two dimensional behavior of the adsorbate. In bundles of nanotubes, phase transitions at finite temperature arise from the transverse coupling of interactions between channels.

Abstract In a recent paper by Mindlin and Herrmann, a one-dimensional theory of compressional waves in an elastic rod was described. This theory takes into account both radial inertia and radial shear stress and, accordingly, contains two dependent variables instead of the one axial displacement of classical rod theory. The solution of the equations for the case of forced motions thus involves complications not usually encountered. The difficulties may be surmounted in several ways, one of which is presented in this paper. The method described makes use of Lagrange’s equation of motion and reduces the most general problem of forced motion to a free vibration problem and a quadrature.

In recent years, many theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out to develop one of the most interesting aspects of the science and nanotechnology which is called carbon-related nanomaterials. The goal of this paper is to provide a review of some of the most exciting and important developments in the synthesis, properties, and applications of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials. Carbon nanomaterials are formed in various structural features using several different processing methods. The synthesis techniques used to produce specific kinds of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials such as zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials (including fullerene, carbon-encapsulated metal nanoparticles, nanodiamond, and onion-like carbons), one-dimensional carbon nanomaterials (including carbon nanofibers and carbon nanotubes), and two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials (including graphene and carbon nanowalls) are discussed in this paper. Subsequently, the paper deals with an overview of the properties of the mainly important products as well as some important applications and the future outlooks of these advanced nanomaterials.

Purification of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a very actively discussed topic in contemporary CNT literature. To a large extent, impurities embedded in CNTs influence the physical and chemical characteristics of the CNTs. Different purification methods yield different CNT characteristics and may be suitable for the production of different types of CNTs. Developments in the purification methods of CNTs are reviewed, and the production methods are briefly discussed and summarized. This is followed by a detailed description of the three major purification methods, viz. chemical, physical, and multi-step purification.

The melding of one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and two-dimensional (2D) graphene to generate a CNT-graphene hybrid with 3-dimensional (3D) features has generated a lot of scientific interest owing to the synergistic consequences of the resulting interface hybrid on the electrical, mechanical, electrochemical and optical properties, which presents plethora of opportunities in both fundamental research and device applications. The review presents an overview of the recent perspectives made in the field of CNT-graphene hybrid architectures. The possible applications particularly in device sensing, as well as challenges are also presented.
