CARBON NANOTUBES

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes can be defined as the single layered carbon fibres that are applicable in several fields. These carbon fibres are known as Carbon naotubes. After invention of high resolution of microscopes carbon nanotubes were able to recognize. Carbon nanotubes are the carbon molecules with have sp2 configurations of carbon atoms.The small diameter of CNT is an example of a one-dimensional periodic structure along the nanotube axis the confinement structure in CNT is provided by the monolayer thickness of the nanotube in a radial direction. Therefore carbon nanotubes are recognized as modern technology in various applications like medical, electronics, ceramics and many more. Hence in this chapter it will be try to conclude maximum applications and characteristics to be described.
