Toward the Synthesis of a [5,5] Carbon Nanotube Endcap

Thesis advisor: Lawrence T. Scott === Carbon nanotubes have demonstrated unique characteristics of strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a chemical synthesis of a [5,5] carbon nanotube endcap. Three different projects were undertaken in...
