Structure of carbon nanotube‐based nanocomposites

The structure of nanocomposites fabricated using carbon nanotube templates using transmission electron microscopy and electron energy‐loss spectroscopy will be described here. Examples for filled, network substituted and uniformly coated nanotubes will be described. The novelty of such nanocomposite structures and their possible role in future technology will be discussed.
