聚结碳纳米管是设计具有新的物理和化学性质的结构以及创建具有改进的机械和传输性能的三维碳网络的主要挑战。我们已经聚结相邻的三壁碳纳米管（TWNTs）共价，在高温下使用催化硼原子。相邻TWNT的两个最外面的纳米管和两个内部的纳米管合并，以产生一个放大的扁平双壁碳纳米管，其封装了两个最里面的单壁碳纳米管。
Coalescing carbon nanotubes is a major challenge for designing structures with novel physical and chemical properties and for creating three-dimensional carbon networks with improved mechanical and transport properties. We have coalesced adjacent triple walled carbon nanotubes (TWNTs) covalently, using catalytic boron atoms at high temperatures. The two outermost and then the two inner nanotubes of adjacent TWNTs merged in order to create an enlarged flattened double-walled carbon nanotube which encapsulated the two innermost single-walled carbon nanotubes.
