The weight and density of carbon nanotubes are calculated as a function of their characteristics (inner diameter, outer diameter, and number of walls). The results are reported in the form of diagrams which may be useful to other researchers, in particular in the fields of synthesis/production, materials and composites, health/toxicity studies.
