There are many experiments that can be carried out with single-walled tubes. These include chemical manipulations, filling and electrical properties. Electronic properties of nanotubes have been the subject of some discussion [4,49]. Structural and electronic properties of bent carbon nanotubes have been investigated with respect to a tight binding description.
