Isakhiwo esinohlangothi olulodwa lweshubhu yekhabhoni enodonga olulodwa iletha izinto ezinhle kakhulu zikagesi nezamehlo.Ibhondi ye-CC covalent eyakha ithubhu yekhabhoni enodonga olulodwa ingenye yamabhondi aqinile aqinile aziwayo, ngakho-ke ama-carbon nanotubes anesici esihle kakhulu sokumaka.Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuzinza kwayo kwamakhemikhali, ububanzi obuncane kanye nendawo ethile ephezulu kuhlinzeka ngezinhlelo eziningi zokusebenza.

I-carbon nanotubes enodonga olulodwa ingathuthukisa amandla wento futhi ithuthukise ukuhamba kukagesi.Uma kuqhathaniswa nezithasiselo zendabuko, njengama-multi-walled carbon nanotubes, i-carbon fibre kanye nezinhlobo eziningi ze-carbon black, inani elincane kakhulu lama-carbon nanotubes anodonga olulodwa angezwe lingathuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kwento.

Kunamanye ama-predispersions ezimboni asuselwa kuma-carbon nanotubes anodonga olulodwa emakethe, okulula ukuwaphatha futhi asetshenziswa kabanzi kumabhethri, izinto eziyinhlanganisela, okokumboza, ama-elastomer, nezimboni zepulasitiki.

I-carbon nanotubes enodonga olulodwa (SWCNT) ine-nanostructures enohlangothi olulodwa eyingqayizivele kanye nezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu ze-optoelectronic, futhi asetshenziswa kabanzi ekwakhiweni kwama-diode, ama-transistors we-field-effect, izinzwa, amadivayisi we-photovoltaic, njll.
