This annotated bibliography has been created to summarize a collection of articles in the area of carbon nanotubes. The focus of this work has been on the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and their use in polymer composites; however, sections on fabrication, atomistic models, electrical properties, and other phenomena have been included for completeness. The last section contains miscellaneous notes collected from the readings included in this work. In most instances, these documents have been grouped according to the primary thrust of the article. In some cases, an article may be referenced under more than one heading.

These article summaries were compiled from notes taken from the readings, and in many cases are biased according to the research interests of the author. The authors take no responsibility for these annotations, and readers are encouraged to use this list only as a way to identify relevant literature for their personal research.
