Differences between SWCNTs and MWCNTs [
28].
| SWCNTs | MWCNTs |
| Contain a monolayer of graphene | At least two layers of graphene | Requires catalyst during synthesis | Production could be done in the absence of a catalyst | Bulk synthesis is cumbersome | Easy bulk synthesis | A lot of defects during functionalization | Slighter defects occur during functionalization but are difficult to recover | Poor purity | High purity | Accumulates less in body | Accumulates more in the body | It is easy to characterize and analyse | Difficult to characterize and analyse | Twisting is easy | Twisting is difficult |
