The focus is on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). We describe experiments on synthesis of SWNTs with controlled molecular structures and assembly of functional macroscopic structures. In addition, we present results on the electron field emission properties of macroscopic CNT cathodes.

The carbon nanotube films were used to fabricate optical cells in which planar alignment of nematic liquid crystals is achieved. This configuration was amenable to electric-field-induced switching as verified by transmitted polarized light microscopy. D
