1. A composite material unit (CMU) of the structure (SE1-ML-LinkerL-Ligand2-SE2), wherein
ML is a Mechanical Ligand, a chemical entity that forms a mechanical bond with the structural entity SE1, where ML is not a nanotube,
LinkerL is a chemical bond or entity that covalently links ML and Ligand2,
Ligand2 is a chemical entity that is covalently linked to the structural entity SE2, or forms a mechanical bond with the structural entity SE2, and
SE1 and SE2 are structural entities
where SE1 is a carbon nanotube and ML is a covalently closed ring around said carbon nanotube, and where the structural entity SE2 is a polymer or the structural entity SE2 is a carbon nanotube,
wherein at least 2 SE2s are linked to the same SE1
or
wherein at least 2 SE1s are linked to the same SE2.
