**Metal nanorods and nanowires** (see Figure) have been synthesized using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as templates and supercritical CO~2~ as the reaction medium. This rapid, direct, and clean approach can also be used to fabricate other metal/CNT composites and to coat the CNTs with metal
Carbon nanotubes display either metallic or semiconducting properties. Both large, multiwalled nanotubes (MWNTs), with many concentric carbon shells, and bundles or βropesβ of aligned single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs), are complex composite conductors that incorporate many weakly coupled nanotubes tha
