title = "Introduction",
abstract = "This chapter introduces the background knowledge of carbon nanothreads, including the history of discovery and commonly synthesized techniques. The merits and demerits of different mechanochemical synthesis approaches are discussed to show their application in mass production of carbon nanothreads. The structural configurations as well as their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of carbon nanothreads are briefly introduced. The prospective applications of carbon nanothreads in nanoscience and nanotechnology are also presented.",
