Single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) are a unique family of materials exhibiting diverse useful chemical and physical properties, researchers in Finland are demonstrating. Thin films of SWCNTs have many unique properties such as high porosity and specific surface area, low density, high ratio of optical transmittance to sheet resistance, high thermal conductivity and chemical sensitivity, and tunable metallic and semiconducting properties.
