State of art in the preparation, characterisation and applications of Langmuir-Blodgett films of carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes are recent materials with an extremely appealing multiplicity of peculiar characteristics of paramount interest in contemporary advanced (nano)technologies. At the same time, the Langmuir-Blodgett technique allows to fabricate films with a substantial control and chance of modulation over thickness and molecular organisation. As a spontaneous outcome, this review deals with an actual subject of attention in up-to-date scientific investigations, i.e. the preparation, characterisation and applications of Langmuir-Blodgett films of pristine or functionalised single- or multi-walled carbon nanotubes in modern research.
