Ma muli o kona ʻano kū hoʻokahi, loaʻa i nā nanotubes carbon maikaʻi nā waiwai uila, mechanical, optical, and thermal properties, a loaʻa nā manaʻo noi ākea i nā mea hana kiʻekiʻe, nā mea uila, nā ʻike, a me nā mea molekala.Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā hemahema o ka ʻili o nā nanotubes kalapona a me ko lākou kūpono maikaʻi ʻole me nā mea ʻē aʻe e kaupalena i kā lākou noi.No laila, ʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka noi ʻana o nā nanotubes kalapona ma o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻili ua lilo i wahi wela noiʻi.Hiki i ka carbon nanotubes ke hana i kekahi lapaʻau ʻili, ʻo Ni plated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (i kapa ʻia ʻo MWCNTs-Ni) pili i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, sensitization a me ka hoʻōla mua ʻana o nā MWCNTs mua, a laila hoʻohana i ke ʻano o ka nickel plating electroless e waiho i kahi papa. o ka metala nickel ma luna o ka ili a me ka i hoomakaukau functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes.Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā MWCNT mua, ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ʻo MWCNTs-Ni ma ke ʻano o ka dispersibility, corrosion resistance, electromagnetic properties a me microwave absorption properties, no laila e hoʻonui nui ai i ka noi ʻana o MWCNTs ma nā ʻano āpau.

Hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo Nickel-plated carbon nanotubes i ka pale pale.
