| Abstract: | Carbon nanotubes, consisting of rolled graphene layer
built from sp2 units, have
attracted intense attention from scientists and engineers having different
scientific backgrounds and their unusual physical and chemical properties make
them promising in the fabrication of nanocomposites, nano-electronic devices
and sensors. The current status and prospect of carbon nanotubes are described
with a special emphasis on the safety issue of carbon nanotubes. Though many
challenges need to be solved, extensive and intensive efforts in both academy
and industry will clear out those problems soon and finally enable carbon
nanotubes to play a key innovative material of 21st century in numerous industrial
processes. |
