Ngenxa yesakhiwo sawo esiyingqayizivele, ama-carbon nanotubes anezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu zikagesi, zemishini, ze-optical, ne-thermal, futhi anamathemba abanzi okusebenza ezintweni ezisebenza kahle kakhulu, izinto zikagesi, izinzwa, kanye nemishini yamangqamuzana.Kodwa-ke, ukukhubazeka okungaphezulu kwama-carbon nanotubes kanye nokungahambisani kwawo kahle nezinye izinto kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwawo.Ngakho-ke, ukwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-carbon nanotubes ngokuguqulwa kwendawo kancane kancane sekuphenduke indawo eshisayo yocwaningo.I-Carbon nanotubes ingenza ukwelashwa okungaphezulu, i-Ni plated carbon nanotubes enezindonga eziningi (ebizwa ngokuthi i-MWCNTs-Ni) isho ukuhlanzwa, ukuzwela kanye nokwenza kusebenze ama-MWCNT asekuqaleni, bese kusetshenziswa indlela ye-electroless nickel plating ukufaka ungqimba. ye-metallic nickel phezu kwe-surface kanye nama-carbon nanotubes alungisiwe asebenza ngodonga oluningi.Uma kuqhathaniswa nama-MWCNTs asekuqaleni, i-MWCNTs-Ni iye yathuthukiswa ngokuya nge-dispersibility, ukumelana nokugqwala, izakhiwo zikamagnetic kanye nezakhiwo zokumunca ama-microwave, ngaleyo ndlela yandisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwama-MWCNT emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.

Ama-nanotube e-nickel-plated carbon asetshenziswa kakhulu ekulweni nokuvikela.
