Carbon Nanotubes Exhibit Higher Thermal and Electrical Conductivity than Conventional Copper Tubes
Research on the uses of carbon
nanostructures in various fields has been stimulated by recent discoveries of
various types of these structures. They have potential for use in the fields of
medicine, genetics, and drug delivery. It is now possible to characterise,
separate, and manipulate individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) thanks to the
introduction of numerous different production techniques for CNTs. These
techniques include functionalization, filling, doping, and chemical
modification. The reactivity of carbon nanotubes is greatly influenced by
factors including structure, surface area, surface charge, size distribution,
surface chemistry, agglomeration state, and sample purity.
One of the most vital
nanomaterials is a carbon
nanotubes (CNT). There were
only two major allotropes of carbon known prior to 1991. CNT was created in
1991 by Japanese physicist Sumio Lizima (another allotrope of carbon). Let's
talk about what carbon nanotubes are. A carbon nanotube is a hollow tube with a
diameter of a few nanometers. It is essentially shown as CNTs. Buckytubes is
another name for carbon nanotubes.
Two-dimensional graphite is
folded or rolled into a cylindrical structure to create nanotubes. Nanotubes
have a hollow interior. The nanotube has a diameter of 1-3 nanometers. The
carbon nanotube's length is significantly greater than its diameter.
