ABSTRACT:
Carbon nanotubes are formed by chemical vapor deposition using metal nanoparticles as a growth substrate. Control over the size and properties of the carbon nanotubes is achieved by controlling the size of the metal nanoparticles in the growth substrate. The metal nanoparticles of a controlled size may be formed by a thermal decomposition reaction of a metal salt in a passivating solvent.
