Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great promise as sensing elements in nanoelectromechanical sensors. In this review paper, we discuss the electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical properties of CNTs that are used in such applications. This investigation indicates which nanotube properties should be carefully considered when designing nanotube-based sensors. We then present the primary techniques that have been used for the integration of nanotubes into devices and proceed to give a description of sensors that have been developed using CNTs as active sensing elementsThis publication has 86 references indexed in Scilit:
