Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) from Synthesis to Functionalized (CNTs) Using Conventional and New Chemical Approaches

Figure 2

(a) Configuration of nanotubes (A) armchair, (B) zigzag, and (C) chiral. (b) Representation of the schematic diagram of the chiral vector and the chiral angle (θ), this vector can be decomposed in two components and , = + , where the integration pair (, ) are the indices of translation which decide the winding of tube [47, 49, 50].
