“…Moreover, the solution method achieves a more effective arrangement, thus enabling a density of >125 tubes•µm −1 or even 400 tubes•µm −1 [71] of CNTs. Currently, the solution method is the mainstream method for the large-scale assembly of CNTs, including the Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) and Langmuir-Schaefer (L-S) methods [77], the pull-up assembly of two-liquid phases [78,79], templateinduced self-assembly [80][81][82], evaporation-driven assembly [83,84], and vacuum filtration [85][86][87]. The first three methods have progressed significantly in recent years, and CNT alignment can reach the wafer scale through process optimization.…”

As the manufacturing process of silicon-based integrated circuits (ICs) approaches its physical limit, the quantum effect of silicon-based field-effect transistors (FETs) has become increasingly evident. And the burgeoning carbon-based semiconductor technology has become one of the most disruptive technologies in the post-Moore era. As one-dimensional nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are far superior to silicon at the same technology nodes of FETs because of their excellent electrical transport and scaling properties, rendering them the most competitive material in the next-generation ICs technology. However, certain challenges impede the industrialization of CNTs, particularly in terms of material preparation, which significantly hinders the development of CNT-based ICs. Focusing on CNT-based ICs technology, this review summarizes its main technical status, development trends, existing challenges, and future development directions.

Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have offered sustainable design options for the built environment and enabled architects to design more flexible architectural forms. Carbon nanotubes have excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties and are useful in a wide range of engineering applications. However, the role of carbon nanotube composites as a functional construction material has large potential and awaits further investigation and exploration. This paper gives an overview of the synthesis and fabrication methods of carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotube properties, different forms of carbon nanotube composites, and application of carbon nanotubes in the construction industry. To explore the prospects for construction use, the aesthetic, structural, and functional characteristics of several futuristic building projects are discussed. This overview proposes a promising material approach for the application of carbon nanotubes in construction and explains the related opportunities and challenges.

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based networks have wide applications, in which structural design and control are important to achieve the desired performance. This paper focuses on the mechanism behind the structure-dependent mechanical performance of a CNT-based hierarchical network, named a super carbon nanotube (SCNT), which can provide valuable guidance for the structural design of CNT-based networks. Through molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, the mechanical properties of the SCNTs were found to be affected by the arrangement, length and chirality of the CNTs. Different CNT arrangements cause variations of up to 15% in the ultimate tensile strains of the SCNTs. The CNT length determines the tangent elastic modulus of the SCNTs at the early stage. Changing the CNT chirality could transform the fracture modes of the SCNT from brittle to ductile. The underlying mechanisms were found to be associated with the deformation mode of the SCNTs. All the SCNTs undergo a top-down hierarchical deformation process from the network-level angle variations to the CNT-level elongations, but some vital details vary, such as the geometrical parameters. The CNT arrangement induces different deformation contributors of the SCNTs. The CNT length affects the beginning point of the CNT elongation deformation. The CNT chirality plays a crucial role in the stability of the junction’s atomic topology, where the crack propagation commences.
