Single wall carbon nanotubes

single wall carbon nanotube A single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a sheet of graphite (a hexagonal lattice of carbon) rolled into a cylinder. Typical diameters of SWCNTs are in the range of 0.7 - 1.4 nm and their length can be of several micrometers.
The image shows the different types of carbon structures: diamond, fullerene, graphite, and nanotube structure.

Yes you are right that single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a sheet of graphite (a hexagonal lattice of carbon) rolled into a cylinder.
 
Single wall carbon nanotubes & nanoparticles could help in many new innovations.
 
Great post.Its the one of the simple definition i have ever read of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
