Carbon nanotubes have two major assets for potential technological applications: their electronic properties and their extremely high mechanical strength, which make them excellent components of composites. Essential for such composites is the existence of favorable surface interactions between the nanotubes and the host matrix. The wetting properties of single shell nanotubes (see micrograph in Figure) are presented.
Dujardin et al. (1998) studied this question.
