The state-of-the-art science and applications of carbon nanotubes
Abstract
Extra-ordinary chemical and physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) also the success of large-scale production by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. It should be noted that lots of CNT-derived products are already in use and their viability strongly depend on their commercialization. We describe the synthesis techniques of various CNTs, and structural characterizations will be discussed, and finally their practical applications of these CNTs will be described from the industrial point of view as well as safety issue of CNTs.
