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.

He has been conducting research on carbon-related materials since 1979, including coals, cokes, carbon fibers, composites and even oils and derivatives, from the point of view of structure, texture, nanotexture, and behavior (thermal, mechanical, chemical). He has focused his work on carbon nanotubes and related materials since 1998, when he co-discovered \"nanopeapods\". He has authored more than 130 articles and chapters in refereed journals and conference proceedings, including contributions to ten books, and is co-inventor of two patents.
