Differences between SWCNTs and MWCNTs [28].

SWCNTsMWCNTs

Contain a monolayer of grapheneAt least two layers of graphene
Requires catalyst during synthesisProduction could be done in the absence of a catalyst
Bulk synthesis is cumbersomeEasy bulk synthesis
A lot of defects during functionalizationSlighter defects occur during functionalization but are difficult to recover
Poor purityHigh purity
Accumulates less in bodyAccumulates more in the body
It is easy to characterize and analyseDifficult to characterize and analyse
Twisting is easyTwisting is difficult
