This volume presents a comprehensive system for categorizing carbon nanotubes and their modifications in terms of nano sheets, nanotubes, microscopic and atomic modifications. In addition, the material and geometric properties of these nano-configurations are addressed. Lastly, it introduces a number of common software packages for geometry generation and several commercial finite element programs.
