These new nanomaterials exhibit enhanced or new properties, such as reactivity, solubility, and magnetism, which pristine CNTs do not possess.  Their many applications include electronic and optoelectronic devices, chemical and biosensors, solar cells, drug delivery, and reinforced glasses and ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarbon Meta-Nanotubes: Synthesis, Properties and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e discusses these third generation carbon nanotubes and the unique characteristics they possess.
