Carbon Nanotubules: Building Blocks for Nanometer-Scale Engineering

The proposed work consisted of two projects: the investigation of fluid permeation and diffusion through ultrafiltration membranes composed of carbon nanotubules and the design and study of molecular transistors composed of nanotubules. I will outline the progress made on each project and also discuss additional projects, one of which is a continuation of work supported by an 1995-1996 NASA Ames Computer grant.
