Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project aims to synthesize and characterize novel hetero double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) through doping such as boron and nitrogen into carbon lattices of inner and outer tubes. Following accomplishments through this project were mainly obtained. (1)Synthesis and characterization of the nitrogen doped in outer tubes of DWNTs by nitrogen plasma treatment. (2)Synthesis and characterization of the boron doped in outer tubes of DWNTs through high temperature treatment with boron. (3)Formation of new types of bicable nanotubes through coalescence process between triple walled carbon nanotubes using high temperature treatment with boron.
