Abstract
-
Carbon nanotubes are molecular-scale tubes of graphite carbon that possess superior properties. They are the strongest and stiffest fibres with Young’s modulus 1 TPa and maximum tensile strength of 63 GPa. Carbon nanotubes are widely used in Biological, Chemical, Medical, Material Science and Engineering applications. This review outlines the engineering applications of carbon nanotubes and discusses benefits and concerns associated with their uses. Many research works have been done on this particular topic and various technologies have been proposed and applied at experimental and field levels. It is planned to identify the applica-tions of carbon nanotubes from engineering point of view.
