摘　　要：Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) are nanomaterials that have attracted great research interest because of their unique properties and promising applications.The controllable synthesis of CNTs is a precondition for their broad application.In this review,we consider nanoscale process engineering and assess recent progress in the mass production of ultra-long,inexpensive CNTs with good alignment as well as tunability in wall number and diameter for fundamental and engineering science applications across multiple scales.Cutting-edge nanoscale process engineering research in the areas of physics,chemistry,materials,engineering,ecology,and social science will allow us to obtain high added value and multi-functional advanced CNTs.The synthesis of CNTs with controllable chirality,good-alignment,and predetermined sizes and lengths still presents great challenges.Through multidisciplinary scientific research,advanced CNT-based materials will promote the development of a sustainable society.Carbon nanotubes （CNTs） are nanomaterials that have attracted great research interest because of their unique properties and promising applications.
