The many sides of a nanotube:
the synthetic prospective

Konstantin Shelimov

University of Toronto

Carbon, boron nitride and mixed CBN nanotubes have been attracting an ever increasing attention due to their unique electronic and materials properties. A number of techniques have been developed to fabricate these interesting structures. The talk will focus on some of the recent advances in nanotube fabrication, including the production of single-wall carbon nanotubes through catalytic chemical vapor deposition and the fabrication of coaxial C/BN/C nanotubules within nanoporous aluminum oxide templates.
