6 Conclusions
Carbon nanotubes are being extensively investigated, owing to their fascinating
electronic and mechanical properties and great perspective for practical applications.
Though CNTs are very difficult materials to manipulate and characterize, major
recent efforts, including new and versatile functionalization methodologies, have
made it possible to implement CNTs in many functional devices. New interesting
uses can be envisaged, as our knowledge on these novel materials progresses, so that
we may expect to see a bright future and a wide range of exciting applications.
