Nanotubes are rolled-up hexagonal sheets with a quasi-one-dimensional structure of nanometer-scale diameter. During the last two decades, nanotubes have attracted much attention from physicists, chemists, material scientists, and engineers due to their excellent structural, electronic, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Nanotube research, particularly in the field of biomedical and industrial applications, is becoming more important. This book covers the physical, structural, chemical, and electric properties of boron nitride nanotubes, which can be useful to students and researchers working in the field of nanotubes.
