Abstract

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a very powerful analytical tool for chemists, where the probe is playing a key role in its effectiveness. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a newly invented material with many unique characteristics, are suitable for being used as AFM probes. In this presentation, a thorough review is provided for the whole area of using CNTs as AFM probes. Fundamentals about both AFM and CNTs are also included.
