Question 1

Carbon nanotubes

Answer 1

Cylindrical fullerenes with dimension in the nanoscale, composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice.
Found in 2 forms – single walled, and multi walled:

SWCNTs – single sheet of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms, with a diameter of 0.4-2.0 nm

MWCNTs – concentric layers of SWCNTs, with inner diameter 1-3 nm and outer diameter 2-100nm

Question 2
