1nm carbon nanotubes... I doubt these can be produced at macroscopic scale.
Moreover the difference between 1.05 and 1.06 nm drastically affected freezing point. I don't think these can be built, en masse, to such precision.

I think the author might have misread something. The Van der Waals radius of a carbon atom is only 0.17 nm, so the radius of a single tube can't vary in steps of 0.01 nm. Maybe this just referred to the average tube radius?
