Preface
Beginning with the first evidence of the tubular nature of nanosized carbon filaments, which dates as far back as 1952, and their further “rediscoveries”, including their high-impact report in 1991, the field of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) continues to be one of the hottest topics in nanoscience and nanotechnology for already more than 25 years. Since their discovery, the development of their functionalization methods has led to the creation of a host of the carbon nanotube-functionalized derivatives and composites possessing interesting (although sometimes unusual) and useful properties. It is well-known that commercially fabricated single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs, respectively) are practically insoluble in water and organic solvents; on the other hand, in order to be utilized in many distinct areas, from cement and polymer reinforcement to medical applications, CNTs should be well-dispersed in water or solvents without reprecipitation for extended periods of time. This is the underlying reason why their dispersion meth
