Abstract

During the last several decades carbon nanotubes have gradually become an important industrial material. Insufficiency and no systematic information on research methods and purity of structure leads to the impossibility of comparing the results obtained by different authors. This article is a review of the scientific literature on the only goal to review and summarize existing methods such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman, termogravimetric analysis and study of the adsorption of gas to the surface. The review of existing defects in graphene layers and nanotubes has also been made in this article. Bibl. 72, Fig. 3.
